I recently got over being sick and lost about 15 pounds and am already skinny as it was. What can I eat to put on the pounds, but still be somewhat healthy???

as long as you eat more calories than u burn, u will gain weight.
you don't have to eat doritos, etc :) if you are eating enough to maintain your weight right now (weight x 12) then
to gain about 1 lb per week, eat 500 calories more each day (3500 cals = 1 lb)

If it were me, I don't have a weight gaining problem...lol, but if I did, I would drink lots of milkshakes! Yum! Good luck, and welcome! :)

I have the same problem, except smoking and some other substances are the cause. Recently cut down on them. I notice you could gain weight if you sleep more often in the day. Like naps. Try to eat as much as you can and then sleep. Repeat the process.
Might i can how much you weight ? and age and height?

Thanks for all your input everyone! To answer your question, I weigh 110 and am 5'5 and 24 years old. I used to weigh 125 before I got sick. I think I lost some muscle mass too.

Hello,
I think to gain muscle it is good to do some weight-bearing exercise along with eating healthy stuff...

I agree with Kathrin (and the milkshake person-yum!).
If you eat more to gain weight plus weight-train during the process, you will gain healthy muscle (which weighs more than fat) instead of just unhealthy fat. Just be sure and begin slowly since you have been ill.
Good luck, and I wish you nothing but good health!
