How to Gain Weight When You Have a Fast Metabolism.
So, I have a super fast metabolism. I don't know what to do, because I want to gain weight so very badly. I absolutely HATE being so skinny. My dream body is much bigger.
Does anyone know what I can do? Should I eat more junk food (because I honestly don't eat much of it)? Just please any help would be appreciated.
I'm 19/female and 120lbs/5"5.

I definitely would not advise cramming junk food into yourself. You'll gain weight. But not in the places you want to. And it will be hard work shedding it too. Empty carbs, fat and sugar. Your body will just try to store the excess energy you are taking in as fat. Your body won't draw on that reserve of fat until you force it to. Meaning a strict diet. You'll weigh more, sure enough but think about how you will look. Flabby. Out of shape. And out of condition, as junk food is not condition-friendly either, to put it mildly! Protein, and useful carbohydrate is what you need. Combined with a worked out exercise regime. Convert the energy to muscle. Muscle mass weighs more than fat too, so you'll get a weight increase. Relax. I'm not saying you should turn yourself into some sort of female body-builder. With bulging biceps and a six-pack etc. Living at the gym. A much gentler regime that builds muscle-tone is what is needed, rather than sheer volume. Tone is what will give you a 'nice shape'. Fat, from the junk food binges will not attach itself to areas which give you a nice shape at all. Quite the opposite. You know what I'm talking about here, I'm sure. Your height, you are stuck with. Although 5,5 strikes me a fair enough height for a woman to be. Rather nice in fact. 'Toned' doesn't mean 'amazonian/warrior goddess' standing six feet tall. Plus, at 5'5 you can wear heels without being taller than the guys. Which less-tall guys find a bit intimidating!
