You can also try the nutrition shakes that are high in protien, but personally I don't think they taste very good. In my day (I was really skinny too) I drank carnation instant breakfast.Which added a few pounds. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]

I'm 5'4 and 98 pounds.
Well anyways, you need to count how many calories you eat in a normal day, and then the next day you should eat 500 more calories.
So like if you ate 2000 the first day, then the rest of the week, you eat 2500 each day. Also, buy dumbells, lol. You can get metal ones at walmart-5 pounds- for $3 each. That what I use. They really help even though its just 5 pounds. Then once that gets easy for you, then get a higher one, like 8 pounds.
High protein foods are good for weight gain in your arms and legs. Also, Carbs are good for gain, but I'm not sure where.
Ex: Fish, tuna, spaghetti, pasta.
Also make sure you each right. Because you may be gaining all body fat if you don't, and thats really not good.
I heard that boost was high in protein and nutrition to help you gain weight. Its $20 for a case of 24. But, when you drink this you should eat too.

Also, try eating before you go to bed. If you do that, then your body will store the food as fat while you sleep, helping you gain weight.
