Answer 1

How old are you? One way to slow your metabolism is to eat less frequently but I wouldn't recommend that if you're an athlete. Cut back on cardio and concentrate more on weight training to build muscle mass. But again, it depends on your age. If you're in your teens, it's not healthy to lift heavy weight because your bones are still growing.  

Answer 2

I feel for you. I'm the exact same way. If you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight, whether it be fat or muscle. So be like Michael Phelps and eat as much as you can. Lift weights as long as your old enough. Eat things like fish, chicken, nuts, beans which are all high in protein. Another trick I heard from someone that worked: eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and drink a glass of milk before you go to bed.  

Answer 3

You probably have a fast metablism...

:] Good Luck though... :]
