unless you fatten them up with bananas and strawberries. Oh, I know, what a terrible burden to have to bear.

The other stuff sounds great.

However, if you're not able to take in enough to see a difference, then switch to Slim Fast or Ensure as a supplement, something to drink with regular meals. They'll put weight onto you if you have them along with food. They only take weight off if you have them instead of food.
