You don't eat enough, it's hardly surprising.
Yes it does, you're not eating enough and you're eating too many simple carbs.
Up your protein and fat intake, change to carbs with a lower GI (veg, fruit, brown rice/pasta etc.).
I am in a similar situation, same height but 11 Stone on the dot and have been since I was 18. I have a poor diet and gain no weight.
However, as soon as I start eating more regularly and a better diet I put on weight steadily. Its all about what you eat, not how much!

basics basics basics....
quality over quantity
but you have to eat quality in quantity then put it to good use....
really it is that simple..
where people go wrong is in not knowing the quality foods......
then when they do they eat to many of them and dont utilise the fuel...vs input....
they waste the intake..
take into account genetic factors.....( or we could all eat and train our way to decathletes. or marathon runners) depending on what we want... impossible..
so look at what u r given then maximise your potential...
dont try and be something you wil never be...

Did you not read my posts or something?
Too much easy carbohydrate in your diet will lead to your insulin crashing the excess glucose levels in your blood, making you feel tired.
As posted - several times now - ditch all that bread and easy carbs for something better.
I'm reading your posts, I'm responding to other posters.
if you want to add more calories to your day and easy way to do it is with consuming liquids
try adding two protein shakes with peanut butter/ bananna etc a day for a while on top of your food
Really, GTFO of here with that BS

While true, it would be better for him to consume it in food, as opposed to a shake.
If he gets fed up of the shakes, he'll just lose the weight again
true, but if he is already saying he is eating a lot, it would be harder for him mentally to eat more
True, but then the following I would say is an average diet for most every day kinda person:
If anything, add something to breakfast, or have an extra meal before lunch. Depends on his job and daily activites really.
End of the day, if he wants to gain weight, he's going to need to eat more or do less exercise. OR gain some muscle mass.
No - he's eating a lot of rubbish so functionally he doesn't believe he can eat more.
Shakes are for people who either can't be bothered to eat properly, read Mens Health magazine, or train so hard that they need supplementation to recover.
Among consumers of 'shakes', I'd say around 99% fall into the first two categories.
That is ****.
1. Stop eating chips.
2. stop eating sausage, chips, and all this fried food.
3. Start having porridge for breakfast with semi skimmed milk. Add Cinamon to give it flavour. This will fill you up for a few hours.
4. Snack with ricecakes, a little fruit, some cashew nuts (small portion) or just another small meal.
5. Eat chicken, beef, wholemeal pasta, wholemeal rice, make stir fries, fajitas, grilled chicken, homemade burgers etc etc. Also get a lot more veg in you, brocolli, esparagus (sp?), carrots, spinach, salad etc etc.
6. Stop being lazy and eating all these simple carbs, they are terrible for you.
See the stick thread from Gordy on begineers guide to bodybuilding for good advice on diet. There was also a thread about diet recently from another member, canot rememebr who though.
If that's the case then (I know half the people will go "well cook your own food then") you should change what you eat for breakfast and everything else until dinner.
