The 1st rule is you need to eat A LOT more than what you're currently consuming. But that doesn't mean you should be eating junk food because your body needs proper nutrient to grow your muscles in a healthy way.
An average female needs between 1600 - 2000Cals a day to maintain her weight. To gain weight, you need between 2000 - 3000Cals a day depending on your body composition & activity level. I've put together this meal plan which is above 2000Cals.
This meal plan is for Monday - Wednesday. For variety, do hop on to Linora Low's channel to check out the meal plan from Thursday to Saturday here:
