    Just eat MORE. Make sure you get at LEAST 1.5g of protein, but don't worry too much about counting...just eat
    I would try to get 1.5g of protein per pound of body weight.

    Here's an article about the myth of 1g/lb + for protein intake. There's no benefit past .82 g/lb and that includes a mark up. http://bayesianbodybuilding.com/the-myth-of-1glb-optimal-protein-intake-for-bodybuilders/

    When people say "just eat more", they usually have a high amount of fat on themselves, but if the OP doesn't mind that, then go ahead and take that advice... depends on what you want to look like. No benefit to getting fat. You'll gain fat, but there's no reason to get fat, if you know what I mean, especially if you care about health and how you look.
