I have the same problem and my doctor told me about protein shakes. Buy something like ensure or boost (boost is sooooo much better tasting) and you mix it with chocolate ice cream (if you get hte vanilla flavor) or make a smoothie or vanilla shake. If you continue daily with this, you are sure to gain weight. I have gained 10 pounds in a year. Nothing happens fast, but it will if you are patient and keep up with it. Also, make sure to get full fat foods: butter instead of margerine, 2% instead of skim, and full fat cheeses, and other products.
Here’s a good way how to build muscle and gain weight on the same time:
1. Get Stronger.
More strength is more muscle. Get into strength training. I recommend weight lifting because it allows you to start light and add weight endlessly. Start with an empty bar. Learn proper technique. Add weight each workout to keep pushing your body out of comfort zone. You can also perform calisthenics : Push-ups, Pull-ups, Pistols, etc. Switch to harder versions or add weight when they become easy.
2. Use Free Weights.
You can lift the heaviest weights using barbells. More weight is more stress, thus more muscle. Dumbbells are great for assistance exercises, but not for your main lifts. It’s Safe, Efficient, Functional and versatile.
3. Train Your Legs.
Squats work your whole body, they’re the most important exercise. You’ll look totally different once you can Squat 1.5x your body-weight. That’s a free weight Squat with hips coming lower than knees.
4. Get Recovery.
Pro athletes workout 5-6 times per week. But they didn’t start that way. They added workouts as they got stronger & bigger. You’ll overtrain if you jump straight into their routines. As a beginner you require more recovery. Make sure you rest, sleep, drink enough water and eat properly. “Eat like a horse. Sleep like a baby. Grow like a weed”.
5. Eat Whole Foods. You’ll achieve a lower body fat, so the muscles you’ve constructed show better. And the vitamin & mineral content helps recovery. Stop eating food coming from a box. Consume whole foods 90% of the time.
Proteins: Meat, fish, whey, eggs, milk,
Carbs.: Brown rice, quinoa, …
Veggies: tomato, salad, carrot, …
Fruits: orange, apple, pineapple, peers, …
Fats : fish oil, real butter, nuts, flax seeds, …
6. Eat More.
You need food for energy and for muscle growth & recovery. Eat Breakfasts. Get proteins & carbs post workout to help muscle recovery & replenish energy store. Eat Every 3 Hours. 6 meals/day. Gives your muscles a regular intake of protein, speeds up muscle repair & recovery.
7. Gain Weight.
You’ll never look muscular weighing 140lbs at 6″. No matter how much training you do. Here’s the most consequential part. Eat Calorie Dense Foods. Become Stronger. Drink Whole Milk.
8. Get Protein.
Proteins have the highest thermic effect. You need 1g protein for each pound of body-weight daily to build & maintain muscle. That’s 160g of daily protein if you weigh 160lbs/72kg. Eat whole proteins with each meal.
