The trick that worked for me whenever underweight (and mentally healthy enough to want to gain) was to buy a box of Triscuits crackers and a tub of hummus each week and eat it in addition to my normal diet. Somehow that was the food that provided calories, not too unhealthy but not so filling that it displaced lunch & supper.
People who can’t keep weight on often don’t realize how many meals they are skipping. You eat something, it makes you full all day, so you wait until the next day to eat, and don’t notice you didn’t eat supper! Nowadays it happens a lot because of Adderall too.
