I am underweight by about 10 - 20lbs and I have a lot of trouble reconciling some of the advice around healthy eating with my attempts to gain weight. It seems all but impossible for me to gain weight without heavy reliance on carbs. I think it's creating a bit of a dissonance because I feel damned if I do, damned if I don't. Either stay underweight (unhealthy) or rely on carbs to gain weight (also unhealthy?)

I have actually been drinking a lot of Soylent lately which seems very carb heavy, but people also report success with it in terms of overall health and ability to lose weight when used to control the total number of calories consumed.
