Answer 1

This is sort of a complicated question.  All these things vary from person to person.  It all depends on your bodyweight and the amount of activity you are doing daily.  I myself am a 250 pound powerlifter and take in roughly 6000 calories per day.

Gaining weight is a very simple thing.  I suggest writing down all the calories you take in everyday for 1 week.  Now you will know how many calories you need to stay the same bodyweight. Then add 500 calories to your daily food.  If you are not gaining weight now add a little more.  If you are gaining faster than you want to eat slightly less.  

An example of an extra 500 calorie meal in your day:

1 banana

1 glass of milk

1 scoop protein

1 cup broccoli

Answer 2

depending on how tall you are, how  much exersice you do and how much you weight!

also how much you wanna gain maybe try increasing your calorie intake by 300-500 calories but try and eat healthily like an extra apple and banana a day ect.

hope this helps a little

good luck!
