Consume more calories from the healthy fat categories (like olive oils and avocado) and lean proteins like tofu and lentils. It's easy to plump up your breakfast by scrambling a few eggs and having a fruit + yogurt smoothie. The trick to putting on weight is simply to eat more calories than you burn.

Well it depends on what kind of vegi. If they are just vegatarian and not vegan, and not super strict Fish is a good source of protein, which is a good way for high energy. And Fish has a lot of Iron in them, and I said that because a lot of vegis are anemic and that has a lot to do with the size and how well they eat. But if they are really strict on their diet and still need to gain fatty foods will work, but they aren't healthy. Try skipping breakfast and eating a lunch and big dinner. And a lot of carbs. Like breads and grains they'll help add some bulk. Don't pig out because as soon as they reach their desired weight and stop they'll just go straight back down to little. [ I learned that they hard way]. Excersizing helps too. I know that most people don't have time for it, me included, but it'll gain muscle, which weighs more than fat. Plus the added bonus that they'll look more toned and better, plus they'll be hungrier when it's time to eat. And Excersizing releases endorphins that make people happy. So it's good all around. Other then that there's really nothing to do except eat a lot. which is bad. I hope this helps!!!

Is your vegan sick or on a special kind of diet? If not, then you'll find that the best kinds of calories are useful calories. Obviously, you know that loading on empty carbs and sugar isn't going to cut it. Dried nuts, avocados and dried fruits are a good start for snacks. Extra oil can be added while cooking, but you may find that it makes the food a bit too greasy. High calorie smoothies made with protein and soy milk will also help add a few extra pounds and will add to muscle mass if s/he works out. The important thing is to eat small high calorie meals throughout the day.

The easiest thing to do is eat peanut butter/almond butter. Eat in sandwiches, but better yet is no-bake cookies. Roll some oatmeal (the quick-cooking kind), sweetener (agave nectar, maple syrup, or corn syrup), and the nut butter together. You can also add some other nuts (pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut) or dried fruit (blueberries, cherries, currants, raisins) to the mixture. Roll into balls and keep in the frigerator to hold its shape and keep fresh. Eat those throughout the day with all the other food you are eating. Nut butters add fat for metabolism and protein to build muscles.

And yes I agree with the eating of smaller meals throughout the day. Kind of like all day snacking. Plus start out slowly so your body can build gradually and your digestive tract can handle all the food going through it. You have to be able to digest the food (digestive enzymes might also come in handy here) to get all the nutrients for building your body. You might be the type to eat and eat and not be able to put on weight as fat, so the next best thing is muscle!
