i hardly eat and get full after eating a granola bar help

I know exactly what you're feeling. A few years ago I was around 74in and 145-150lbs, and it killed me trying to eat more than 1800 calories a day, I'm now 205lbs and am eating 4 full meals a day. My tips are:
1. Start off by making sure you eat 3 consistently timed meals everyday if you aren't already. This puts your body into a pattern of expecting food at certain times of the day, and you'll get hungry when if you don't follow that cycle.
2. Don't waste your time worrying about what you eat early on. If you don't enjoy healthy foods avoid them for now. Just eat things you enjoy, it'll make it way easier for you to get into the habit of eating more food. Once you get up to a healthier weight focus on eating clean.
3. Count your calories. You are going to be full pretty much all the time, and sometimes you will assume you have eaten a bunch because of that, when really you have only had 2500 calories that day. It'll keep you accountable.
4. WORK OUT. If you are going to be putting on anything over than 10lbs and don't want to be fat and slightly less skinny, start lifting weights or doing some form of bodyweight exercise.
5. It takes awhile to healthily put on weight. Stick with it.
