Check out http://www.scrawnytobrawny.com.  The bottom line is that you're going to have to consume a lot of calories and also be willing to exercise to make sure the new weight goes on as muscle and not fat.  It takes dedication but you'll get results.

Answer 4

The key ingredient to gaining muscle mass is to add lots of PROTEIN to your daily diet. You should have 1.0-1.5 grams of protein for each pound you weigh. Protein helps your body to build lean muscle after your workout. Speaking of workout, I would start with simple toning exercises (low weight/more reps) to get your muscles used to being worked. After about 2 weeks you can go to the strengthening exercises (high weight/low reps). This will break down your muscles fast and with all the protein in your diet, when they heal it will be solid lean muscle mass.

Answer 5

When I decided I wanted to gain extra weight, I started drinking Ensure drinks between meals.  I would drink one or two of them a day.  the ensure plus are designed for healthy weight gain.  they're just nutritional shakes, a lot of elderly people drink them to keep them from wasting away when they are too sick to eat real food.  I gained about 10 pounds in  2 or 3 months, and got to the weight I wanted to be at.  good luck!
