Just put me in a wheelchair, get me on a plane
Hurry, hurry, hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain

IT STILL WORKS

The upshot of this is that let's say you have a budget of $18 for a snack. If you spend it all on cookies, you'd get a total of 900 calories. But if you spend it on the crackers instead, you'd get 9,600 calories and a much better stuffing for the same money.

I don't expect people to be complete morons who would switch their entire diet to be nothing but cooking oil or something. Anyone who would do that is already a Darwin Award waiting to happen.

I already pointed out pasta as the best gaining food despite lard and other ingredients having higher CPD, specifically because it makes an actual meal. I even mentioned that the rice would take ages to get through because there aren't a lot of dishes that are a majority rice. The implication is that people would be using this to make real food with.

This is intended for people who have a specific idea in their head about the correct foods for gaining (fast food, mass gainer, etc.), and show them there is a better way to get results that fits their budget. That's it.

But by far, out of everything I checked, the absolute winner was dry rice with an enormous 2424 CPD. While that's truly impressive, there's not a lot of rice dishes that are like 90% rice, so it will probably take you a long time to work through it.

For my money, pasta is really the king of cheap calories since it's easier to go for big stuffings. Dry spaghetti was 1600 CPD. Boxed macaroni and cheese was 1260. Alfredo sauce was 217 CPD, but I don't want to do the extra math of trying to add that together with something.

Soda is obviously going to be the sugary drink of choice, with root beer coming in at 1080 CPD. Chocolate milk didn't come close, being only 600 CPD.

For shits and giggles, I decided to look up iceberg lettuce, and it's only 52 CPD for a head, which seems like the least efficient food for getting fat, at least until I looked at royal beluga caviar. It's 0.05 CPD.

So what do you think about all this? And are there any other foods you're curious about?

With inflation being what it is, groceries are a lot more expensive now, so a lot of people are finding that their budget is the biggest obstacle to gaining. Previously safe bets for putting on weight like fast food and weight gain shakes might not be great options anymore if they are relegated to being an occasional treat. The best foods for gaining now are really just whatever food you can afford. That's why we need to look at the number of calories you get per dollar. It's not complicated to figure out. Just find the nutrition facts, take the number of calories per serving, multiply that by the total number of servings to get the total calories, then divide that by the price to get calories per dollar (which I'll call CPD for short).

I looked up a bunch of different food items, I used Walmart to find all of the grocery store items and tried to stick to the house brand (called Great Value in this case) instead of name brands, since that's always going to save you a few bucks. Of course, all of these numbers only apply when you're buying in person instead of having food delivered, as delivery fees will cause it to plummet. Also, packaging and quantity matters. The bigger the volume of each item, the more money you save, and try to go for things in plastic bags when you have a choice, since it's the cheapest form of packaging.

Back in my college days, I discovered that the highest volume of food for the cheapest price in the cafeteria were packs of generic Oreo-style sandwich cookies from the vending machine, and I'd sometimes just get one of those for lunch. Checking the price today, they offer a very nice 1066 CPD.

Once, when they were on sale, I had gotten boxes of snack cakes in every flavor and would eat a box of them after dinner every night. What I had were Little Debbie big packs, which normally cost $5 when not on sale. They range from 456 to 768 CPD, with the biggest ones being Oatmeal Creme Pies, Nutty Buddy, and Star Crunch.

Ice cream sandwiches were 600 CPD, and tubs of ice cream were close at 630 CPD.

I found the cheapest heavy cream I could find, and it gives you 659 CPD, but that's not much of a surprise that it's more.
The bigger surprise was that Boost VHC only gets you 219 CPD. A lot of people swear by Boost. Mass gainer protein powder was nearly as bad. I looked at several brands, and they were all around the 250 to 290 mark.

A 7" birthday cake is 346 CPD, and sheet cakes were slightly less.

Chocolate pudding cups were 338 CPD, and a tub of Kosy Shack tapioca pudding is 171. The difference is probably due to the name brand.

Getting a dozen cream-filled donuts at Krispy Kreme gives you 211 CPD, with their glazed donuts being even less, at 152.

A plain tub of frosting from the baking section is 980 CPD. Brownie mix was a substantial 1428 CPD just on its own.

Breakfast cereal depends on the flavor, but it ranged from 566 CPD up to 850, with the big winners being the generic versions of Fruit Loops, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Captain Crunch. Instant oatmeal was higher, at 914 CPD.

Frozen waffles are 439, but pancake mix was a huge 1600 CPD.

I looked up various things in the candy aisle, and it's a wide range from 161 to 628 CPD, with the clear winner being generic gummy bears, with Whoppers, Milk Duds and Reese's Pieces being the runner ups. Again, the gummy bears being house brand is probably why they're the highest.

Honey roasted peanuts were 1187 CPD, with creamy peanut butter being much more at 1575 CPD.

Potato chips were 742 CPD, cheese puffs were 800, generic Doritos were 636, but pork rinds were only 444 CPD.

Frozen pizza was 404 CPD.

Frozen French fries were 379 CPD, stuffed potato skins were 247, instant mashed potatoes were 266, but fresh Russett potatoes were 596 CPD.

Fresh avocados were much less at 137 CPD. Eggs are about the same at 132.

Ground beef was 272 CPD, but ground pork was 380.

Breaded mozzarella sticks were 363 CPD, onion rings were 323, and garlic bread was 581.

I looked up common meals at most of the popular fast food places, and they were all within a range of 102 to 170 CPD. For example, a McDonalds Big Mac and an order of fries comes to 103 CPD in total, while the actual high quality equivalent at my local diner is just shy at 87 CPD. At this point, fast food is getting so expensive, it doesn't make much sense anymore.

Chicken fried rice was a paltry 91 CPD
Instant ramen packs were 506 CPD

Canned chili beans were 420 CPD. Dry beans were a little more at 520, but who wants to bother with cooking dry beans for a measly 100 extra calories?

Canned soup was all fairly low, with the highest being potato soup at 300 CPD, and clam chowder at 280.

Butter is 800 CPD, but lard was a whopping 1995 CPD.

For me, it's only showing activity from 1 day ago.

This isn't going to work the way you think it will, or even the way the researchers are presenting it. Having a healthy microbiome could reduce a lot of chronic health problems people have. It might reduce the negative health risks that can come from being fat. It might maybe, possibly increase your metabolism somewhat. But it can't interrupt natural processes of your body like whether you store fat at all. It's not a magical super drug, we're talking about restoring natural bacteria that would be living in your intestines anyway, but probably got killed off through antibiotics or toxins. This would be like the probiotics that are being sold right now at GNC, just targeting a specific strain that looks like it reduces inflammation from visceral fat.

I've been in the exact same position. I'm a feeder, but was curious to see how the other side lived, so I tried it. I found someone online to encourage me, which gave me the motivation to keep going. I went to the grocery store and found that their boxes of snack cakes (twinkies and the like) were having a big sale, so I got a bunch of them. I kept my normal eating habits, but every night after dinner, I would slowly work my way through an entire box. I had enough of these to last me about two weeks. I never bothered counting calories, but I weighed myself afterward and had gained 10 pounds in that time, which is anything but slow.

It really turned me on seeing how much I gained so quickly, but I think that's because I'm a feeder and had basically fed myself. However, I felt completely neutral about the extra fat. I enjoyed eating them and challenging myself, but I really don't care how much I weigh or whether I gain or lose. I don't really sexualize my own fat. Since then, I ended up getting the flu and losing everything I gained. I haven't tried it again, since it's an expensive hobby, especially for someone who doesn't care about the results.

I did some math just now and it turns out that it ranged from 1400 to 3300 calories per box, with most of them being on the high end of that.

One thing I forgot to mention is that the movie draws a comparison between feeders and Armin Meiwes, the cannibal who found a voluntary victim on the internet. That's enough to show author intent with this one.

I'm curious about the fetish games you mentioned. It's always seemed to me that all porn games were pretty bad, but granted, the last time I bothered looking, they were mostly on Newgrounds. Are there any games or sites you'd recommend for something actually good?
