A carton is only like $3
Bigger Cheese:
$3 every day, that might be a bit much long term. Especially since I use heavy cream for other things.
Milkshakeandfries:
Nothing will get you extra calories without costing some money. This is by far the most cost efficient source of calories. If you're not interested in drinking it, that's fine, but if it's too expensive than anything suggested here is going to be too expensive. Calories come from food. Food costs money. Cream is $3. You can get 1200-1400 calories of cream or about 800-900 calories in value menu fast food for about the same price. You don't have to drink a carton a day, have 4 cartons a week for 3 weeks, that should make you gain a couple pounds and cost $36. That's the price of getting Five Guys twice. Are you actually trying to get advice on packing in more calories?
Munchies:
Hun, this not helpful advise. I am glad that you are fiscally secure, but not everyone is. You need to meet people where they are. There is no reason to shame OP.
Milkshakeandfries:
I'm not fiscally secure! I'm extremely poor. That's part of why I chose to try using cream to gain. It's much, much cheaper than any other option I could figure out to increase calories.
I am not sure if you realize it, but saying things like "Are you actually trying to get advice on packing in more calories?" is shaming. Particularly because all OP said was that they are concerned about the cost.
If you are also extremely poor, you should also know that you gotta make choices about what you can and cannot spend money on. If OP says they cannot afford to do it, then they cannot afford to do it. That doesn't make their desire to do it any less.
