Answer #1

Build muscle. Also, eat healthy but eat bigger portions and more often.

As much as I usually hate about.com, this article has some good points on healthy weight gain.

In summary:

  • Exercise, especially weight training, will build muscle mass and allow you to gain weight while maintaining a healthy physique.
  • Eat high-calorie foods that are also nutrient-rich, like fatty fishes and nuts
  • Eat healthy carbs, like corn and potatoes, not refined carbohydrates, like breads and pasta. They are also calorie-dense.
  • Use protein shakes and powders as between-meal snacks
