I'm 23 years old. I have a high metabolic rate. I have been trying to gain weight and muscle but No matter how much I eat, it doesn't show any results. How do I counter my metabolism?

For the ?average? person, you need around 3500 calories to gain a pound. That?s 3500 calories over and above your maintenance weight! Likewise, for every 3500 calories of deficit your body has, you will potentially lose a pound of fat reserves.
