HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would not be possible, in a healthy way, to put on 7 kg in one week.
If you do need to gain weight because you are underweight, it should be gradual to avoid any problems that may occur.
Weight gain can be achieved by increasing your calorie intake.
This means increasing the calories you get from your food and drink.
This would involve increasing portion sizes and the frequency of meals (high calorie snacks between meals).
Adding dressings/butter/oils to meals to increase calorie value would also help.
I hope this helps
