With a little bit of time to mull it over, I think that I can provide a real answer to
@NurseDave 's question as to my motive for gaining (healthy) weight.
When I was in my 20's and early 30's, I used to be in REALLY good shape. Football ("soccer" for most North Americans) was 4 x a week (2 practice, 2 games + coaching youth) had me with solid cardio as well as leg muscles , abs and even enough lats to provide a mini-V back. 20 years ago, I left 8-4 office work and started consulting/contracting on my own, which led to long hours (most weeks were 50+ hours, with 60-70 ones not uncommon). Good money but it basically meant that I had to stop football as I could no longer meet my commitments, especially as a youth coach. 16+ years of that resulting in me developing a small "office belly," chicken legs, and losing just about any muscle definition that I had.
I don't think that it would be healthy for me to try to go back to the lean 130-135lbs I was in my early 30's, as that would mean losing 25 lbs, but I least I can try to get in shape again ... and that means feeding my body enough carbs and protein to facilitate healthy muscle growth. I don't eat very much red meat at all, preferring the taste of M&M veggie burgers over beef, and that probable leaves me a little protein deficient in my diet as I'm not a big fish fan and eat chicken maybe 2-3x per week. I'm basically about 75-80% vegetarian by choice.... I simply like how the food tastes rather than for any other reason (spiritual, animal rights, etc...)
My daily exercise is going well (I think) and I've dropped 2 inches from my waist over the past 2 months (started in early Dec) and I'm now a 31-32" waist. My legs got skinnier but more defined, as did my arms. Alas, I'm always hungry and my muscles started to "tingle" if I tightened them, which is most likely because they are not getting enough fuel to recover.
So basically, my weight gain goal is to pack on a healthy 10lbs of muscle (20 is my stupid "reach" goal) and start to get back into some sort of shape that resembles where I used to be. Not looking to enter any Mr. Old Fart Bodybuilding Championships
I'm hoping we can all achieve the goals we set out for. 
...further, when my hair did finally decide to move on my melon was kind enough to leave a wonderful and smooth canvass for all to bask in the glory of it's presence...plus I have lost 25 pounds since Oct 19th....Sam through our cosmic connection seems to be acquiring it...
