Being skinny may have many reasons and it may be your body's genetic make-up as well. Still, we can do a lot to make difference. High-Calorie foods with rich nutrition are good for you. Take nuts & raisins along with Milk Shakes and eat every 2-3 hrs. Strength training is important too. Try muscle strengthening exercises of different groups on different days to let the muscles recover.
