ya you dont want to eat everything insight, you want to eat healthy and gain healthy weight, which is muscle mass. you should also be lifting weights if you want to see muscle mass gain, you want to gain as little fat as possible.

in your case, make sure you get around 250 g of protein a day. and less then 100g of fat. but make sure the fat you do eat is healthy fats. and the rest should be carbs, but again as much healthy carbs as possible.

you should mainly be eating the following:

chicken
tuna
fish
oats (oatmeal)(sugarless)
pasta
fruits
veggies
fish
olive oil
flaz oil
turkey
water
milk
brown rice
wheat bread
