Are you very active? maybe you just have a high metabolic rate, My sister did until she turned 30.

You probably have a somewhat high metabolism due to moving around a lot, or genetics or whatever. But the foods that you list are not necessarily very high in calories, and it therefore won't necessarily make you heavier.
Are you eating breakfast and lunch or skipping them? 2 bags of popcorn and a donut is unhealthy and high in calories given the amount of food it is, but not a full day's worth of calories. And actually popcorn is itself very healthy (high fiber) except for all the salt and "butter" added to it.
Gaining and losing weight is all about how many calories you are eating versus how many you are burning.
Given your dinners, you're probably malnourished as you can't be getting all the nutrients you need. And you probably have a relatively high percentage of body fat.

Weight training helps a person build muscles and increase body weight. If you are a very active person, you should learn to relax, which will slow down your metabolic rate. Increasing the number of hours you sleep will also help you to gain weight. More information at http://www.toloseweight.org/gainweight.html
