Gaining

Underweight, looking to gain lots fast

The tried and true method is combining fast acting carbs/sugar with fat. The sugar is to trigger insulin which is the hormone that tells your body's cells to open up and accept the fat that's been ingested.

The larger the insulin spike, the more fat your fat cells can cram in. This is why the "fattiest" foods are comprised of carbs and fats/oils.

Not just fat cells, it works for muscle cells as well. This is why bodybuilders shoot up insulin after they work out. They can cram in unnatural levels of protein into the muscle cells during that insulin-spike window.
