    to gain 1 lbs of fat, you need to eat a surplus of 3600 calories. That would be an extra 541 calories a day.
    There is however no way to guarantee that that 1 lbs of fat will magically appear around your belly area.

    Honestly, one week to gain weight is just not a lot of time, and personally I don't think it is healthy to try and put on a lot of weight in one week. Gaining is a process just like losing that should be done over a longer amount of time.

    Can you tell us more about your situation. What are your stats? Why do you need to gain weight within a week?
