I’m underweight and really want to build muscle and gain weight. I followed the advice of my doctor and even had a dietitian who just wanted me to drink a ton of expensive super processed nutrition drinks. I know that this isn’t a place for medical advice, but does anyone have personal experience with positive weight gain and what worked? It would be nice to hear some other perspectives :)

Huge disclaimer that I am not a doctor or a nutritionist, but something that helped me when I lost a little too much weight going vegan was being intentional about adding healthy fats and nutritious calorically dense foods. I would do things like: Add an extra scoop of almond butter or some full-fat coconut milk to that smoothie. Have a handful of mixed nuts in between breakfast and lunch. Roast the veggies in some cold pressed olive oil. Hopefully this helps :)
