I don’t know where to post this, so I’m posting it here.

I need to gain some weight because I’m borderline anorexic. But I can’t afford much more than bread, potatoes, eggs and cheese, That is my diet. And I hate eating it. It’s the only thing I can stomach that is cheap, but I hate it. I don’t want to eat eggs and potatoes for the rest of my life. I would rather die of malnutrition, like I am currently doing.

I have no appetite, but that is a symptom of something else. Ideally, there is a way to gain weight while eating less mass. Something calorie dense.

I might be slightly exaggerating. But for the last couple of years I’ve been eating potatoes and eggs for almost every single meal of the day. And yes, I eat one warm meal a day. Sometimes I suppliment with some bread to stop the hunger pains. Sometimes I also eat a piece of vegetable.

    In a thread about how to gain weight, you are advising against sugar sweetened peanut butter.

    In a thread about how to survive on very little money you are advising the most expensive peanut butter option.

    Get the cheapest, sugariest, oiliest jar you can find. Salt is not evil either.

      Good point. Salt DOES drive away evil spirits. It can’t be bad.

      spoiler

      Not for the body anyway. Maybe for the spirit.

        I know we’re downvoting non-cheap options here but if you can, try to find one without palm oil at least, purely out of ethical concerns
