    All of them.

    Calories calories calories.

    If you're having trouble because you get full before eating enough calories, opt to add more calorie-dense foods to your diet - nut butters, ice cream, avocado, cheese, full fat dairy, etc.

    Play around with your calorie numbers until you're gaining steadily around 1/2 lb to 1 lb per week.

    I would also recommend adding calories gradually. Add 100-250 per week until you are eating in surplus. It makes it easier to adapt to the larger intake and helps with the "I'm too full to eat more" problem.

    I second what @BecomingBane said and also pre log your day so you know what you are eating and when. This will prevent situations where its 9pm, you have a million calories left to eat and you are wondering how to fill them.

    Also agree with this as well.

    Though, just to be clear, that would be an increase of 100-250/day each week. So if you are now eating 2600 up your cals next week to 2700-2850, then up it again the next week. Don't just add 100-250 cals/week that is only 14-36 cals/day and is not what the response is suggesting.
