Weight loss is a concern for many people, but if you have a fast metabolism, you may have the opposite problem. For someone with a fast metabolism, gaining weight can be as difficult as losing weight for the rest of the population. While it can be a challenge, the same principles apply to weight gain as weight loss. To gain weight, you need to eat more calories than you burn.

Step 1

Eat 250 to 500 calories more than you normally do. This will lead to a weight gain of 1/2 to 1 lb. a week.

Step 2

Choose nutritious and calorie-dense foods such as dried fruits, nuts and cheese to increase the number of calories you eat. This makes it easier to increase your calorie intake without feeling overly full.

Step 3

Add meals. Eat five to six smaller meals to increase your total calorie intake each day.

Step 4

Strength train two to three times a week. Perform two to three sets of four to eight repetitions of exercises. Choose a variety of exercises, such as squats, bench press and rows to work all major muscle groups.

Step 5

Skip diet soda, coffee and tea as much as possible. These beverages may make you feel full without adding any calories.
