Try to intake atleast 4000 calories a day. A good start is some oats in the morning - Not quaker instant oats, actual oatmeal. Toss some fruits into it along with a bit of protein powder to make it palatable.
Then make sure you eat lots of lean protein. Chicken and lean beef steaks are great. Brown rice for carbs and broccoli or asparigus for fibre.
Make sure you have 2 protein shakes a day - Try a weight gainer like, Muscle Milk, or Mammoth. They are about 1000 calories per drink. Drink one protein shake between breakfast and lunch, and one right after a workout; on non-workout days, drink it between lunch and dinner.
Snacks are welcome any time - Granola bars, bananas and such. Also, because of your metabolism, don't be too worried about cheating occasionally. Occasionally is the key word though.
That'll be sure to put a few pounds on you.
If you really want to gain some muscle mass, look up a pyramid set weight training regime. It's brutal on your body, but builds muscle like crazy.
I give you this advice because I am doing much the same right now - I went from 123 (I'm 5'11'') to 130 in about a month and a half.
Good luck! *end long post*
