Bulking With a Fast Metabolism – Tips?
I train four times a week, lift heavy, and try to eat more, but my bodyweight barely moves. Some days I feel like I’m constantly full just trying to hit my calorie goal. I’m aiming for a proper mass phase, but I don’t know how to structure my meals so I’m not forcing food all the time. For those who struggled to gain because of a fast metabolism, what actually worked for you?

I used to think I had a crazy metabolism too, but once I tracked my calories honestly, I realized I just wasn’t eating as much as I thought. What helped was switching to more calorie-dense foods instead of just bigger portions. Things like peanut butter, olive oil, rice, pasta, whole eggs, and smoothies made it easier. Liquid calories are a game changer — adding a shake with oats, banana, whey, and nut butter between meals boosted my intake without making me feel stuffed. I’ve seen random threads floating around on sites like whoseliveanyway.com where conversations go off into stuff like buy steroids with credit card as if that’s the solution for hard gainers. But realistically, it comes down to consistent calorie surplus and patience. Weigh yourself weekly, aim for slow increases, and adjust intake if the scale doesn’t move for 2–3 weeks.
