To increase the weight you need high calorie diet containing fats as 1 gm of fats gives 9 calories of energy whereas 1gm of protein and carbohydrate give only 4 calories of energy. Hence you have to take moderate quantity of butter, ghee, oil and nuts such as cashewnuts. You can also take ice-cream.
