Gaining Weight with Peanut Butter: A Calorie-Focused Guide

Question
About how much peanut butter should I eat daily to GAIN
weight?
thanks

Answer
Dear Larry,

If you're trying to gain weight you want to aim to add between 200 and 500 calories per day to your diet. This will add about 1/2 to 1 pound per week to your weight.

Peanut butter has about 100 calories per tablespoon. But the increase in calories doesn't all have to be from peanut butter!

You might consider something much easier like having a glass of carnation instant breakfast drink which provides 250 calories (when made with whole milk) and protein and vitamins and minerals.
