Healthy fats are best for T2s, especially if following a low carb diet I'd add in more cheese, double cream, olive oil on salads, etc.

We often advise people to avoid Snacking but if you need to gain weight adding a few high calorie snacks throughout the day should help.
Things like cheese, olives, nuts and avocado, some nuts can be quite high carb so make sure you choose the lower carb ones.
Several cups of coffee with a generous serving of cream would also be a delicious way to increase your calories (I think I've gained a couple of pounds just writing this)

I enjoy a baked custard as a pudding - double cream with vanilla and egg yolk. Baked at 90 degrees for 30/40 mins with ground nutmeg on top.
