Dear Patient,

According to the numbers you shared your BMI is 14.7. It should be between 18.5-25. To maintain your current weight you need to eat 1337 cal/day. But to increase your weight you need a total of 300-1000 additional calories/dy.
Eat lots of protein, at least 3servins of carb, nuts, whole milk and grains every day. Here's a list of things you can eat and do to help. For a more detailed plan meet a dietitian
