First, all muscle is lean, if it's not lean it's not muscle, it's fat. Second, putting on muscle involves having suffcient calories and suffcient protein, specficially those rich in the branch chain amino acid leucine, which is the amino acid used in the synthesis of skeletal muscles. Third, you need to lift if you want to pack on muscle instead of fat.

So you should be looking at having a reasonable, balanced diet with about .8/g of protein per pound of body weight and aim for about 300-500 calories above your daily maintenance. If you aren't lifting now find a good beginer program and start working out.

If you want a list of foods you can certainly start with: chicken, beef, tofu, greek yogurt, cheese, rice, peanut butter, nuts, avacados, bananas, oatmeal, tuna, milk, broccoli, califlower, kale, olive oil, coconut oil and the list goes on. To get more calories you can add in burgers, ice cream, cookies, pastries, chips, fries etc. if you don't mind what some might call "junk" food.

Just eat reasonably and at a slight surplus and you'll have no issues.

as long as you get a min amount of needed protein it wont matter will the other cals come from. just be aware that the larger the surplus the more likely a higher % of your gain will be fat. Also make sure you partake in a progressive strength training program.

I eat a lot of ice cream and deep fried cheese curds. The source isn't as important as meeting your calorie goal. Then the macro/micro nutrients. Progressive overload lifting. And putting on weight much faster than .5-1 pound per week and you'll be putting on more fat than muscle.

This. And to add, you're not going to gain weight fast. And if you do, it's likely going to be fat.

gaining weight fast is easy, gaining lean mass fast is mostly impossible!
