I eat a decent amount of food, but I needed to change up my routine to get my appetite up.
I got a trainer who helped me get some routine started and some nutrition advice. I ended up reaching a hard plateau which sucked. I got stronger but the lack of progress sucked. A friend of mine said I should try more compound lifts and pointed me to a bodybuilding.com routine http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/wotw46.htm
Once I started on this, I've had a steady appetite increase which has been amazing. I really need to eat more and my body will almost tell me what I should eat whether it's carbs or fat or the like.
The biggest change that helped me the most was going to the gym 4 out of 7 days a week. Doing two or three days didn't cut it and the "endorphin" rush which is what I want the most would wear out.

This is one of the better all-around articles I've found on the subject:

Well worth reading through in my opinion.
