Canned wild salmon and sardines are fairly cheap and low in mercury (check
http://gotmercury.org/). For cheap, high quality protein raw eggs are great. Eating a lot of cooked eggs could eventually produce an allergic reaction and it'd be less digestible anyhow. As someone else mentioned doing above, I spent quite a while eating 12-18 raw eggs per day in protein shakes, quite cheap and yummy too
Cholesterol levels were unusually good.
If you're just wanting to put on fat, eat more bread. It may even give you acne as a bonus
An example of a shake I'd drink in the past:
3-6 whole eggs
1-3 bananas
several strawberries or blueberries
lots of heavy whipping cream (coconut milk would be a fine substitute)
ice cream is optional
ps: If you think 5'1'' and 125 pounds is skinny, one of my vegan friends in college was 6'1'' and 120. He's now happy to have moved up to about 140 pounds since he started lifting weights more.
