To gain weight, you need to include high calorie food (not fried and junk) & protein rich foods like milk and milk products, fish, chicken, pulses and legumes, dry fruits and nuts in your diet. Also, include mid meals in your diet. You can have milk shakes, lassi, kheer, dry fruit chikki etc as your mid meal snacks. Increase your diet gradually. Along with dietary changes make exercise a part of your routine. Exercise (particularly weight training planned by a fitness trainer) thrice a week and take proper rest.
