Eating junk food won't get you to a good place!

For a start, how long do you have? If you don't have long at all, then simply eating will add food and water weight, and then you can work on adding the more permanent mass (i.e. muscle) after that. If you have more time, then resistance training 3 times (full-body sessions) a week (NO cardio!) and eating for 'bulking' will do it (and the gains will be more permanent, since you should be adding muscle).
Second, no matter what type of food (although clean eating is better for your body; you just have to eat MORE of it than 'junk' to get the equivalent calories) you are eating, if you're LOSING weight on it, then you are NOT eating ENOUGH, PERIOD! Start eating above Maintenance calories.

First of all, I hate this whole "no matter how much I eat I wont" spiel. I've heard it so many times before. As Rosie said, if you're not gaining weight, you simply aren't eating enough. You have to be CONSISTENT with your diet, and eat lots of food on a daily basis, not just a couple days a week. You should be eating at least five times daily, and these should be relatively heavy meals. I'd say to stick to a diet consisting of 50% protein, 30% carbs, and 20% fats.
Some foods you should be utilizing:
Protein
Beef
Chicken
Tuna
Whey/MRPs
Dairy
Carbohydrates
Whole Oats
Brown Rice
Wheat Pasta
Whole-wheat bread (Ezekiel is my favorite)
Fats
Almonds
Olive Oil
Coconut Oil
(Some fats will come from your protein intake as well)
Eat these foods DAILY! You should easily put on 5lbs within two-three weeks. It won't all be clean, but that's not what's important if you're trying to get into the AF. You can work on body recomp at a later time.
Remember too that 16oz of fluid = 1lb. So when you know your weight's going to be checked, do your best to drink at least 32oz of water to add a quick couple of pounds, and don't take a crap for a couple days...I'm serious. It worked for Jimmy Stewart! :thumbsup:

Alright well for starters do what irish cannon said good information on the foods to eat and what guesjn said about the resistance training will help support lean mass, but since you have to "bulk up" gain 5lbs also make sure your doing the compound lifts, bench, squats, deadlifts, close grip bench, military press etc. these lifts help support putting mass on you want between 8-12 reps for adding strength and mass on, mainly your diet is key though. Start off with the food, without eating properly and proper nutrition working out isnt going to do it for you, so just do all that and no cardio till you hit your weight level. By doing all of this there is no reason why you shouldnt gain weight and make sure your eating above maintenance level. good luck and any other questions post em up here or you can pm me if necesary
