You CAN gain weight without eating lots of fats and white foods... you just need to eat MORE (ta da! complicated answer of the century! haha)
Really, you can gain weight on health foods - you won't get "fat" but I don't think that's what you want... you'll get to a healthy weight and your body will thank you for it. You just have to make the effort to eat more, having a bit more everyday little bit by little bit - gradually increasing your meal sizes or adding on an extra meal.
I find that being slightly more active than usual can lead to an increase in appetite that will let me eat more - just make sure that you're eating more calories than you're burning with that little bit of extra exercise. (However I realize that that might be much easier said than done with fibro - I don't have fibro, so please excuse my ignorance there! )
Also drinking lots of water seems to increase my appetite for some reason. Probably something about flushing out toxins... (but then again, with fibro you're probably drinking lots of water already, right?...) OK so those 2 tips may not have been helpful - but the bottom line is it doesn't necessarily matter what you're eating (and health food is always better than junk any day!), just eat MORE of it!
