How do I gain weight?

The answer is eat more calories obviously.

There's no magic solution, it's as simple as that.

Just focus on buying cheap, calorie dense foods and keep protein at 1 gram per lb of bodyweight.

Work out TDEE, eat 500 cal more than that a day and start off on one of the beginner programmes on r fitness.

I'd probably recommended 5x5 stronglifts for a complete noob.

Milk, eggs, chicken, beef mince.

You don't have a high metabolism. You have a shit appetite.

Eat calorie dense foods. Milk, beef, peanut-butter, eggs, etc for fattier protein sources. Pasta, oats, lots of rice for carbs. As suggested, drink your protein shakes with milk instead of water. Weight gainers are basically whey, oats and sugar, so you can make a cheaper and healthier home version. Lift hard and cut back on cardio.

Drink lots of milk. And get some whey protein and mix it with milk.
