Best Ways to Gain Weight Fast Even With a High Metabolism

I know it can be tough to gain muscle when you have a high metabolism. I have dealt with many clients who have had that very problem. You might of heard the term called hardgainer. No matter what you have done you still can’t gain weight fast enough. Don’t worry though. There are certain things you can do to increase your muscle mass even with a fast metabolism.

There’s no real secret to how to gain weight. It’s quite simple…Eat more calories than you use.

I know you probably think you are eating a ton of calories, but if you’re not gaining weight, you’re not eating enough calories. If you split your meals the right way, you can eat a lot more food.

1. Eat more meals

If you are still only eating 3 meals a day, then now is the time to up your game. By eating 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day, you can eat much more food than normal. You will also be boosting your metabolism by keeping your GI tract working all day. This is a perfect combination to gain quality muscle mass while keeping trim.

If you believe you can eat more with just 3 large meals a day, you won’t be getting the nutrients you need. You can only absorb so many nutrients in one sitting. By splitting it up into more meals throughout the day, you will constantly be sending quality nutrients throughout your body.

A meal shouldn’t be a large meal. It should only be able to fill a 5″x5″ tupperware. This is a larger amount of food than you think, and will give you plenty of calories.

Eat Big to Be Big

On average, a male will intake 2000 -2500 calories, but when you have a fast metabolism, this is no where near enough. As a hardgainer, you could need to take in 3500+ calories per day, and this is not even that high.

Don’t try and get the extra calories with junk food. Keep to the healthy choices of a well balanced diet. The junk food contains components which will add to gaining fat instead of muscle. Eat lots of protein and carbs and you will do fine.

Resistance Training is a Must

To build muscle, you have to put strain against your body. When you lift, you’re actually tearing your muscle down. These tears are repaired stronger and bigger than they were before. This also shows the importance of diet. A rep range of 8-12 has shown to result in the largest muscle gain when eating a large amount of calories. I have seen results vary between each individual. I grow the most muscle at a lower rep range of 3-6.

Stick to compound exercises and don’t over train. Good exercises to consider using to gain weight fast are squats, deadlifts, bench press, dips, overhead presses, bent rows, and chins.
