Answers:
You always want to increase weight with lean muscle. You have increase the intensity of your workouts. Honestly if you only want to gain muscle you need to up your daily calorie intake, which includes proteins fats and carbs.
Proteins will help you build muscle but don’t overdo it, meaning don’t go stock up on peanut butter and tuna cans. Only so much protein can be used by your body a day the rest goes undigested to a degree.
Also make sure you get your proteins from vegetables as well as meats. Yes vegetables, you would be surprised how many bodybuilders are vegetarians. Legumes (beans), Leafy green vegetables have proteins as well as whole grains (rice). When eaten in combination vegetables and whole grains containing proteins can form whats called a complete protein which is better used by your body to build muscle.
Building muscle in your workouts requires high intensity resistance training, so if you haven’t been lifting weights build up to it gradually. Taking longer rests between your sets will allow more muscle fibers to be built, and drink plenty of water.
As far as supplements go, everything God put on this earth for you to eat works just as well as any supplement. All supplements do is try to give you what you can get from your food and give you results you get from hard work and smart eating. A good multivitamin is just about all you need as far as supplements go. Weight gain supplements have way to many side effects to be worth it.
There are certain foods that are beneficial and certain you should avoid.
Drink sufficient pure water -- your weight divided by 2 = ounces per day. Take fluids between meals, using reverse osmosis purified water, unsweetened juices, and herbal beverages. Try liquid chlorophyll in pure water, it is delicious and refreshing!
*A minimum of 50% of your food should be alive -- fresh, raw, unprocessed. Dead food cannot build strong bodies. Eat foods in season and foods that can spoil. (But eat them before they spoil, of course!)More is preferable!
*Eliminate foods used in a microwave. Try to eliminate using the microwave for anything you eat or drink.
*Eliminate processed sugars and white flour and any foods that contains these; i.e., read labels.
Substitute whole grain foods for white -- stone ground whole wheat, brown rice, etc.
*Avoid all stimulants. They are very difficult on the adrenal glands. (Coffee, cigarettes, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, aspirin, black tea -- herbal tea acceptable.)
There is plenty more. Check the source for the complete list.

Proteins, my friend!
i have the same problem, can't gain weight!
went to a doctor and he said "peanuts and potatoes" are high in carbo's.
if you want to gain muscle weight eat protein. If you want to gain just mass in general, eat carbohydrates, the bad ones.
Real Pop. No diet stuff. Couple of cans a day. If your not gaining fast enough for you try good old ice cream before bed, that should do it.
Add a tablespoon of olive oil on every thing you eat.
Eat while you're watching T.V. it makes you secrete an hormone to gain weight.
drink beer it's fatting, along with poboys sandwiches with a double hotfudge sundae.
Eat chocolate,and skittles. Both delicious and an easy way to gain pounds when you want to.
I am assuming you want to make muscle gains- First you will need to lift some weights or some kind of resistance training..Next up your fat and protein intake 15-30%..Try hemodialtors and amino stacks--dont go to GNC they are overpriced.next sleep alot and watch the good pounds happen.
Also if you are lifting already make sure you do a 2-3 split work hard one day and rest 2.than work hard and rest 3 days.watch out for the cardio..you will go catabolic with too much cardio.you wantto stay anabolic.. Hope that helps-
i have heard that the quickest way to gain weight is, in addition to eating all you can, drink with it some nutritional supplement such as Ensure
Start eating alot, it works best when you get yourself stuffed right before bed.
something that can really help you gain muscles FAST is eating a ton of peanutbutter late at night ( of course because everything is twice as effective at night when it comes to weight gaining)and peanut butter (to me) is so mch better then those protien shakes. My husband did it and there was results in 2 weeks tops :)
Eat a lot of junk food and act lazy until you have gained 12 pounds.
