What is the best food for a cat to gain weigh after nursing kittens?

Tammy Z asked:
A mom cat and her kittens adopted my patio a little while ago, and naturally I’ve been trying to leave some food and water out for them as often as possible. The mom cat was very skinny so I have been feeding her extra foods packed with vitamins and fats, like chicken, special dry canned cat food, turkey, some beef, and she LOVES biscuits and cheese!
But she never seems to gain any weight. I want to make sure she is eating enough to produce milk for her kittens and remain healthy, but it doesn’t seem to matter what food I give her. Any food recommendations for a nursing stray cat?

Also… If they stay around any longer, I will have to take them to the shelter but I’d rather give them to people who will provide a good home. I live in Dallas. Please inquire if you are interested!
