Gaining Weight...

CrackIzBaD Posts: 24 Joined: 2007/03/29	2007/05/25, 09:56 PM Hi, well basically i'm trying to gain weight currently. I find that peanut butter is a good source to gain weight, but um the problem is, is that i HATE the taste of it. So is there any other related source for good fats i can take to school or eat just whenever? Peanut butter seems perfect, (except that i hate it) because its like portable and not messy, could just eat it on a spoon. Is there anything i can eat that gives pretty much the same, or a better source of gaining weight? Please list! Thank you!

And if you want a butter, you can make a butter out of any nut by grinding it in the blender. Just blend it until it becomes butter. I buy my nuts in bulk at my local health food store (pecans and almonds).
