You are significantly underweight. You have to gain at least 17lbs to be considered a normal weight. 0% body fat is not something you want. A woman should be between 8-12% body fat, which is considered essential. You risk a lot of health issues at being so under weight. You want to gain muscle, but if your body fat is that low, you should be concerned about that as well.0

I like like a slice of multigrain toast with some coconut oil & almond butter or Nutella on it before or with mashed up avocado & a fried egg if I'm really hungry. Post I would make a smoothie with fruits & greens & some protein powder.
If you need quick easy grabs try an apple or banana with some Justin's maple almond butter travel packets. Also trail mix with nuts & dried fruits.
