Short of an unusual medical problem, eat more.
Foods high in Iodine might help.....
Kelp, shrimp, or even kelp tablets?
Excess Iodine can interfere with thyroid function.
I'm not sure it'd be wise tho'. ;-)
Eat more carbs. Spuds, rice, pasta, oatmeal, bread.

How do you know you have a fast metabolism? Did you have it
tested? Do you eat 4000 calories a day and still not gain
weight?
My guess is you're not eating enough. Figure out exactly how
many calories you consume now, then add 500 a day. Shoot for a
balance between fat, carbs and protein of about 30% fat, 50%
carbs and 20% protein.
Fat examples:
Olive oil, canola oil, nuts (avoid foods high in saturated fat
and trans fat)
Carbs:
Fruit, vegetables, pasta, potatoes, non-white breads, cereals,
etc.
Protein:
Meat, fish, milk
Before you do anything, go see a doctor and have your blood
tested. Something could be keeping your body from processing
food properly, or you may have hyperthyroidism.

Nuts are 75-80% fat. A tablespoon of fat has 120 calories. He
should not be getting more than 30% of his calories from fat. It
would be very easy to exceed that by eating nuts.

Well duh. Eating too much fat will certainly put the weight on.

Nonsense. If all that mattered was calories, he could eat 20
tablespoons of olive oil and get 2400 calories.

You don't know what you're talking about. If he eats more fat he
will add fat to his body. I really doubt that's what he wants to
do.

Total BS.
Telling him to check with a doctor is good advice since this is
concerning him enough to be asking about medicine.

Do you smoke cigarettes by any chance? If so that's your problem. I
gained 15 pounds in a month when I quit.

Until he screams "I'm comingggggggggggggggggg..."
What exactly did you do with the olive oil?
>What exactly did you do with the olive oil?
Lube his butt so the nuts don't chaff him.
