Fattening up an underweight beardie?

[WisePrey]

Hello all, I recently adopted a pretty healthy adult beardie (can see him in my sig).

However he currently weighs about 220 grams and he's about 20" long. From searching around I've read that he should be in the 400 gram range and am curious what the best way is to get him the extra weight?

He was being kept in a small cage without a UVB light, which has now changed. I have him in a 40 gallon breeder with 2 18" reptisun 10.0 uvb lights and his basking spot is at 105.

He is pretty active and since I've had him (about a week) he's been eating plenty of worms, crickets, and veggies. He is also pooping everyday, pretty much within 2 hours of his lights coming on.

Thanks for the help!

Best way would to not try to "fatten him up" but to just feed him normally.

Feeding him a normal healthy will make him a normal healthy dragon.
Feeding him to make him fat or gain weight is not the way to go.
