Can you
Easy peasy. There was a study a few years back where two 'normal' people were to try and gain 30 lbs in a month. One of them did, the other was about 5lbs short. So 40 in a year is a doddle. It's less than a pound a week for goodness' sake

Cheap way to get fat in uni?
Honestly, it's harder to find a cheap way of *avoiding* gaining weight at uni.
As a student, you'll either be eating:
a) hall food
food you make yourself
c) take-away
or d) any combination of the above.
a) Hall food tends to be like school food was, except there's no Jamie Oliver sticking his nose in. So chips, rice, pasta and lots of grease. Cheap cuts of meat (see below) and the best part is it's FREE - or rather you've already paid for it so you might as well eat it.
as a student, you're poor and try to save money, so you buy 'value' versions of things - and in most cases this means fattening. Cheap cheese can be up to 35% fat! Cheap cuts of meat (especially pork and bacon) are often heavy in fat too. And things like value ham slices are all fat and salt.
c) Having saved 60p buying Tesco's plastic bread instead of Kingsmill, you feel less bad about having a kebab on the way home from the Union. Nobody knows what goes into those things (although the big rotating lump on the skewer is popularly believed to be an elephant's leg) but it sure ain't diet! Wash down with four pints of cheap lager or cider for that belly-busting feeling, assuming you can keep it down ...
