ICE CREAM, HAMBURGERS, FRIES. Cheesey things. Anything that you can see your reflection on from the grease. If you want to do it the healthy way, I suggest getting a nutrition book. Eat high quantities of high quality foods such as beans, brown rice, barley, vegetables, etc.

Anything someone on a diet to lose weight shouldn't eat. Lucky you. =-)
Here's what I found....
How can I add calories to my diet to gain weight in a healthy way?
You need to eat or drink 500 to 1000 extra calories each day to gain about one-half to one pound each week. Your dietitian can tell you how many total calories you need each day to gain weight. Do not skip meals or snacks. You may need to plan time for healthy meals and snacks if you are very busy. Eat larger portion sizes (or second helpings) during your meals. The following are other ways to add extra calories to your diet:
Snacking. Carry healthy snacks with you. If you are not able to fit regular meals into your schedule, eat and drink healthy snacks and beverages throughout the day. Eat extra snacks during the day when you do not normally eat a snack. Ideas for healthy snacks include fruit yogurt, cheese and crackers, peanuts, English muffins, multigrain bagels with cream cheese and jelly, or bran muffins. Examples of snacks that provide about 500 calories are listed below:
Eight saltine crackers, one ounce of cheese, and one cup of ice cream.
One cup (8 ounces) of dry cereal with one cup (8 ounces) of whole milk, and one banana, plus one slice of toast with one tablespoon of peanut butter.
Six graham cracker squares with two tablespoons of peanut butter, two tablespoons of raisins, and one cup (8 ounces) of orange juice.
Eat healthy foods that are higher in calories.
Bread: Choose heavy breads such as honey bran, rye and pumpernickel instead of lighter breads such as white bread. Add peanut butter, margarine, jam, or honey for extra calories.
Cereals: Granola, Grape-Nuts® and Raisin Bran® are healthy choices and have more calories per serving than puffed rice or corn flakes. The serving size of a cereal is listed on the food label. You can also add more calories to cereals by adding nuts, raisins and other fruits.
Fruits: Bananas, pineapple, mangos, raisins, dates and dried fruit have more calories per serving than watery fruits. Some examples of watery fruits are watermelon, grapefruit, apples, and peaches. A serving of fruit is one medium banana or apple, one-half cup chopped or canned fruit, or one-fourth cup of dried fruit.
Vegetables: Starchy vegetables such as corn, carrots, and peas have more calories per serving than less starchy vegetables. Some examples of less starchy vegetables include green beans, broccoli and summer squash. A serving of vegetables is one cup of raw, leafy vegetables or one-half cup of cooked or chopped raw vegetables. Add margarine, almonds and cheese such as mozzarella for extra calories. Stir-frying vegetables with canola or olive oil will also add extra calories.
Meats: Cook chicken or fish in a small amount of canola or olive oil. Red meats such as beef, pork, and lamb have more calories but they also have more saturated (SACH-er-ay-ted) fat. Saturated fat is a type of fat that may increase blood cholesterol. When you eat red meats, choose leaner cuts. Some examples of lean cuts of red meat are round or sirloin steak, ground round, fresh or boiled ham, or center loin chop.
Beans and legumes: Lentils, lima beans, chili beans, bean burritos and other dried beans are high in calories. These foods are good choices because they also provide carbohydrates and protein.
What should I drink?
You can add calories to your diet by drinking juice, milk, milk shakes, and instant breakfast drinks to your meals or snacks. It is very important to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration (dee-heye-DRAY-shen). Dehydration is a condition that results from not drinking enough, or losing too much body water. Dehydration can cause serious health problems, and even death. Athletes have higher liquid needs because of water that is lost through sweat during exercise. Athletes need eight (8-ounce) cups of liquids each day, plus 20 to 48 ounces (two and one-half to six cups) of liquid per hour of exercise. For example, if you do a two-hour bike ride, you should drink about one cup (8-ounces) of liquid every 15 minutes. This would amount to about 64 ounces (eight cups) of liquid in two hours.
Always carry water with you (and drink it) on longer activities. You can wear a special bag or belt made to carry water on your back or around your waist. Drinking sports drinks for your liquid needs may be helpful for exercise that lasts longer than one hour. The best way to check if you are drinking enough liquids is to look at the color of your urine. Urine should be clear or straw-colored (very light yellow), with little or no smell. If your urine is dark-colored or smells strong, you may not be drinking enough.
Risks: You may add extra body fat if you gain weight too quickly. You may also gain extra body fat if you do not do strength training while trying to gain weight. Eating a high-fat diet to gain weight may increase your blood cholesterol. High blood cholesterol leads to heart disease
