I agree with the people here who said that weight gain in that short a time is hard to do... normally. My tenpence worth (inflation) is keep a food and activity diary that you can show to your GP when you see her next year. Write down and measure **everything** (if you're eating out, take a ruler, a camera, and a couple of plastic drinks glasses and goblets (that you know the size of) in your bag - take a picture of the food and decant the liquid into "your" glass)).
If you want to (frankly that's more than enough for most people) you can then shovel the numbers into a nutritional database + exercise database and come out with the difference.
It *is* possible to eat an additional 1000+ calories a day - Mars Bar, 230 - half a bottle of wine, 245 - 7 cream crackers 245 - 1/3 pot hummus 220 - starbucks caffe latte 200 - 4 ginger biccies 180 ... that on top of three square meals is possible.
