Gaining

So I'm currently on low income so don't have money to spend on gaining which is sad really.

Meaning snacks really.

I would love to gain or at least maintain my weight at the current state.

I eat plenty of oatmeal in the morning, so thinking about adding heavy cream, mass / weight gain powder to the oatmeal, chocolate & peanuts. Adding olive also.

This on morning & in the evening.

I calculated that I need like 1600-1900 calories a day to maintain my weight.

Any other ideas for cheap foods, snacks for daily use? I usually eat 3 times a day but I could use more really.

Thank you all so much for the help

Where I live it's things like multiple packs of instant noodles, bread and baked beans, cheap pizzas, etc. Usually for £1-2 per meal but can be 500-1000kcal.

Maybe look for foods you can bulk cook like spaghetti, lasagna, maybe soup? etc.

Maybe look around for bulk discounts e.g. Amazon occasional has bulk chocolate on offer.

Look around if any local supermarkets do discounts like one smaller chain near where I live e.g. spend x save y.

Also check out the discount sections, especially near closing, but please don't be an ahole about it (I say this only because I've heard stories in the past).

Just make sure to also include something nutritional.

dollar store brownie mixes. no eggs
extra oil and heavy cream extra sugar. nuts choco chhips etc.
mix to what ever thickness you like.
i like it so thin i can drink it... that means extra oil and cream
and i like it frozen like ice cream.
really cheap. and filling
and yummy

Do not drink things high in oil because you will shit yourself.

Sometimes violently,

In high quantities, oil is a laxative.

Carbs , rice, pasta, potatoes ect….. and flavour with tomatoes cooked with spices into a pesto like sause, blend smooth with olive oil even add nuts, beans, or other vegetables, Top with cheese, and cream.

I sometimes blend all into a soup that I can drink, with bread and butter.
