[quote=Anonymous]My mother and son are both underweight and struggle to gain weight (if only I had that problem!). This is what they've been advised to do:

1. Avocado every day. They're full of fat.
2. Drizzle olive oil on everything.
3. Eat fatty fish like sardines (while avoiding the larger fish that accumulate heavy metals, such as tuna).
4. Full fat dairy. Sadly my mother and son don't like dairy. You could add straight up cream in your coffee! 
5. My son has a lethal allergy to nuts, but they are also a great option to gain weight, as they pack a lot of calories.

6. Animal fat in moderation. When DS was a baby, he was in failure to thrive, and our pediatrician told us to add heavy whipping cream to his bottle! Volume for volume, it's the most caloric food there is. However as an adult, only consume animal fats in moderation. My mother got by for years by slathering BUTTER on everything :-), but she developed high cholesterol and switched to olive oil... luckily my son loves olive oil and drowns his pasta in it.
