What types of foods can I eat to try and gain weight (with braces)?

I'm pretty skinny for my height and I really wanna gain a couple pounds. The thing is, I'll be getting braces soon and you can only eat certain foods so you don't damage the braces. What types of foods can I eat so I can gain weight and not mess up my braces? Also, is there anything I can eat that will SLOW down my metabolism? I swear I lose weight so easily but it takes me 2 months just to gain 2 pounds! People always tell me that my metabolism will slow down with age; it's true, but I don't want to wait 30 years just to gain some weight. Thanks.

To gain weight you need to combine protein foods with starchy carbohydrates as indicated below. Good weight gaining combinations are bread, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes or sweet potatoes combined with meat, poultry, eggs, cheese, nuts or sea food. Peanut butter sandwiches and cheese sandwiches are good weight gaining combinations. The protein in the above combinations will help to gain extra muscles.
