Add healthy calories. Without radically changing your diet, you can increase your calorie
intake with each meal by adding nut or seed toppings, cheese and healthy side dishes. Try
almonds, sunflower seeds, fruit or whole-grain wheat toast.
Go nutrient dense. Instead of eating a lot of empty calories and junk food, focus on eating foods
that are rich in nutrients. Consider high-protein meats, which can help you to build muscle. Also,
choose nutritious carbohydrates, such as brown rice and other whole grains. This helps ensure your
body is receiving as much nourishment as possible, even if you’re dealing with a reduced appetite.
Snack away. Enjoy snacks that contain plenty of protein and healthy carbohydrates. Consider options
like trail mix, protein bars or drinks, and crackers with hummus or peanut butter. Also enjoy snacks that
contain “good fats,” which are important for a healthy heart. Examples include nuts and avocados.
Eat mini-meals. If you’re struggling with a curbed appetite due to medical or emotional issues, taking
in large portions of food may not seem appealing. Consider eating smaller meals throughout the day
to increase your calorie intake.
Bulk up. While too much aerobic exercise will burn calories and ultimately work against your weight goal,
strength training– such as weight-lifting or yoga–can help you gain weight by building muscle.
Before beginning any major weight gain program, be sure to consult your family doctor. Being underweight may
indicate an underlying health issue, which won’t be corrected by diet changes. Your physician also will be able
to help you track your progress and make sure that healthy changes are taking place.
I'm a guy and I was literally skinny as ****! And I wanted to bulk up so what I done was put an alarm on my phone for every 2 hours (that's during the day not when I'm asleep of course) and every time the alarm went off id have to eat no matter how full I was ! I just eat ! Gave me motivation and I put quite a lot
-What worked for me-
-Drinking less fluids (allowed me to consume more food).
I ate my entire meal first followed by a beverage after.
(This made it more likely for me to finish my entire meal rather than leaving left overs).
-Eating foods high in fats (Ice cream, bread, rice, mcdonalds etc.)
-Not skipping meals.
(If I didn't have time to have a meal I would have a nutriment or a ensure).
Try weight training, its the only way I can of adding healthy weight to your frame.

Eat A LOT of healthy foods so you can still put on the weight you want and still being healthy at the same time.
Eat more calories by switching your diet to a healthier version of the foods you love. The higher intake will help a lot and you will feel way better.
A size 8-10 u. s. at 5'7" is normal and it's not skinny at all.
So is are you talking about u. s. Sizes or British sizes?
eat more, move less or to reverse it: eat less, move more
Wait, are you saying that you're currently 5'7" and wear a size 8-10?
Start lifting weights, eat more.
