You need to build that extra weight with protein and weight lifting.
You can try protein powders that you mix up as a drink, following the label directions. But be sure that you are also drinking enough water, and exercising as well, as using protein supplements without exercise or lifting weights can cause a buildup of chemicals that can shut down the kidneys.
You really would do best by discussing with your doctor.

I'm 25 years old, 5 feet tall, and 80 pounds. I am wondering if you have advice to help me gain weight? What foods should I eat? How many calories?
