Answer 1

Frankly it's gonna be difficult to gain weight with a naturally fast metabolism. But what you can do instead, is develop as much muscle as possible with your small body.

I'd suggest eating regular 3 meal-a-day, but add in supper and probably brunch. Do not just eat fatty foods and exclude veges or others whatsoever! You're trying to gain weight for more muscle, not to gain weight and be fat (or so I presume)

Exercise regularly. Do more muscle building exercises like pull ups or push ups (push up is always the best exercise for any body types). Try to do more anaerobic exercises like weight lifting or sprints instead of aerobic, endurance exercises like long run, swimming, etc.

If nothing much changes, consult a doctor or a nutritionist.

If you want to gain weight or build bulk and muscle fast that lasts then get “muscle formula protein powder”, this stuff is awesome. Not only will you increase in size, its all natural products so there are no side effects and your weight will go up too. I have been using this for two years, I have put on 65 pounds (over 40 in the 1st year) I am now just under 200 and feeling great. Whether you work out or not this stuff will work for you. Its only available by mail order, I get mine from www.myhealthabcmall.com, go into the sports section and you can find it in there. They have some awesome energy drinks aswell. If you aren’t sure there is a link to email the nutrition coach and he will advise you (you will need a credit or debit card or someone who has one). This stuff also tastes great and now means I don’t get my *** kicked every week.

Lets face it - people with fast metabolism will definitely have problem putting on weight but still there is a way. One is by
regularly consuming banana milk shake consisting of two glasses of milk, plus two ripe preferably cavendish variety banana, two tablespoon of honey plus two dollops of your favourite ice-cream all
together blended to form milk shake to be consumed at break-fast
and again in the evening. In exercise part holding Prithvi-mudra
wherein you touch the tip of ring finger with tip of thumb and keeping other three fingers straight and palms facing upward. Do this with both the hands.
Start with 5 minutes and you should be able to hold at a stretch
for 45 minutes or break it up into three portion by holding for 15
minutes in the morning , 15 in the afternoon and 15 minutes in the evening. This will go a long way in helping you achieve your goal of increasing your weight. If morning session of 15 minutes can be done in the presence of sunrays it will boost your chances more speedily. Good luck.
