Hello,
Gaining weight is not only about eating large quantities food. You need to find the cause/ reason behind not able to gain weight which may be poor nutrition ( not taking nutritionally well balanced diet), no physical activity, stress, unhealthy lifestyle or any undiagnosed medical issues unless you act on the cause your weight gain is not possible. As you will not wish to go through this process again and again.
Weight Gain is a collaborative result of well balanced nutrition, physical activity minimum 4 times to maximum 6 times / week for about 30 mins to 60 mins , 7-8 hrs undisturbed sleep every night and stress management activities on daily basis for about 30 mins minimum in whole day.
