Eat nutrient dense food, and alot of it. Meat, nuts, oats, milk, peanut butter, olive oil in your foods, etc

Agreed.

Eat healthy, eat alot, eat often.

500 calorie or so portions, 6 times a day. Lean meats, healthy fats (pb, peanuts, olive oil), and good carbs (oats, whole wheat if u eat noodles/breads)

This is true but very expensive. Whole foods are better for you anyways.

Yup, I'd just make sure that alot of the calories aren't coming from sugars. Its amazing how hard it can be to eat enough healthy food to gain weight...Its a problem for me, I have to work pretty hard at it.

They are expensive, and just watch the sugars. They can be nice for a quick meal when you don't have the means to make a whole food meal.

Work out with moderately heavy weight (6-8) reps and get in approx. 1g of protein per pound of body weight.

You will gain weight, and it won't be fat.

Same way here man. I've been sick for about the past week and gone off my "diet" and weight started dropping. If your metabolism is like mine you have to eat alot, more than you would ever think is right, and do it consistently. Start adding a set amount of calories to your diet every week until you see growth. Once you see growth then adjust your calories from there.

Milk, red meat, and snacks of peanut butter and apples has helped me add calories/weight. Sure its sugar and fat but it has helped me gain. I started back in early november and I'm now up about 13lbs. Sure some of my gain was fat but my jeans still fit, and I plan to cut some in about a month so its all good.
