For people actively gaining, how much do you spend on food?

Hey guys,

I was hoping that I could get some insight into the spending that goes into actively gaining, and maybe a bit about the structure of your meals.

I think that most of us don't gain strictly on junk food, but I struggle with planning out meals that I know I will eat a lot of and will gain weight with.

I was wondering how much you spend on food each week, roughly. I live in the midwest so I believe that most things are cheap-ish here, but I still struggle to not spend more than $50 on groceries each week while still getting fattening foods that I enjoy. Is my palette just bad?

Please let me know what you guys think. Thank you!

Edit: One point that stands out to me is that heavy cream costs (for me) a minimum of $12 per week, which is just 50 cents from being a quarter of my budget! It just seems like I can't gain without finding more money first.
