You want to keep it healthy. Eat lots of protein (beans, chicken, fish, beef) drink whole milk, eat fruits and veggies, whole grain pasta and cereals. Take your vitamins. You might want to consider adding nutrition drinks too until you get your weight up a bit. At 8 weeks you wont gain very much but 91 pounds is underweight (unless you’re really short)
There are a range of food that are faily high kilojoule but still nutritious.. or at least not bad for you.
Nuts and nut oils (almond oil for e.g.), peanut butter, avocado and olive oil are all good for a high energy diet. You should talk to your doctor about being referred to a dietitian
