With all that salt in your diet, it's no wonder you don't like vegetables. try some cucumber: if it tastes like nothing, your tastebuds are desensified. You need to cut all that salt and other strong (artificial) flavors out of your diet (better for your bloodpressure too!) and after a while, you'll notice that vegetables will taste very different.

You could also try adding nuts and seeds to your diet. A friend of mine used to be underweight and she began stirring crumbled walnuts through her rice, an advice from her doctor. That doctor also said that the key isn't to eat more, but to eat more often. It's better to eat 6-8 small meals than to eat three big ones. My friend used to take extreme measures, like skipping breakfast and slowing down her metabolism, to gain weight. It worked, but she felt really ill, had trouble concentrating, and lacked all kinds of vitamins. When she started eating breakfast again, the kilos flew off and she ended up weighing less than before trying to cheat the weight on. Never skip breakfast!
