My getting fat or just maintaining is a 4-hour-long Sunday brunch, though I hate waiters who think it's a place to push people out like a production line

Are there any ways I can get fat on a budget of 300?

Bigwideland:
1 cook for yourself
2 look at stews, or equivalent with potatoes and slow cook cheap cuts.
3 chicken
4 egg
5 rice and pasta
6 diary
7 dried fruit and nuts
9 baked goods I found a seconds direct to public factory outlet.
10 add fats like cream to soups
11 steamed pudding and custard if you can't bake.


There is always a store like Aldi where you can buy whole blocks of cheese for a couple of bucks. 800+ calories in them. There’s also eating whole bags of marshmallows. They are loaded with calories and highly addictive. Peanut butter is easy to douse yourself with calories too!

You can buy peanuts in bulk and make your own peanut butter.

Not really. Just use a food processor. Plus, some stores will have an in-house machine that you can use to make your own nut butters for free. There's a natural food store near me that does that.

Do you tend to meal prep for a few weeks? That could help with any spacing issues
