So I asked this a few months back on twitter but it looks like i've been losing weight ever since.. I've been really struggling to gain anything and was wondering if anyone had suggestions or tips on how to get fat on a ridiculously small budget (~200€ per month). I should mention i'm in France too - ThreadSky

Je ne sais pas si tu as une prédisposition a gagner du poids, en ayant une faire le minimum de déplacement et manger 2 a 3 fois du fast food ou des repas caloriques ça m'a pas mal aidé. Le sucre c'est je pense ce qui me f'sait gagner le plus mais c'est vraiment pas bon pour la santé à outrance

Rice is pretty cheap and easy carbs, milk too if its affordable round your way. Also its important not to binge eat at once but spread more carb intake across the day.

Look for restaurant supply stores (that are open to the public, some are businesses only) so you can buy cheaper in bulk.

Hey! I tend to just keep my regular diet, but I drink at least half a litre of heavy cream a day to increase my calorie intake. 500ml = 1700 kcal for €2,00 a day if you buy the supermarket brand ones

Like for example, I get mine in Carrefour for that price

I'm a big fan of calorie- and fat-dense stuff like nuts, avocados, and the like. Also, heavy cream is no joke, especially if you can find something to mix in to make it more palatable (protein powder, chocolate syrup, whatever you'd prefer).

Cooking more for yourself will definitely be more financially sustainable in the long run. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, either! You can find calorie-heavy recipes on subreddits like r/gainit.

Finally, as corny as this might sound, the more you can make it something enjoyable, the better! That might mean variety, that might consistency with favorite foods.

Wishing you success!

I'm talking getting pure fat no muscle. Been stuck around 95kg for years and aiming to be around 130kg but inflation has been making it more and more difficult over time. I dropped fast food because it was ruining my wallet and I do absolutely 0 physical activity but it can't seem to gain anything

Well, you'd want to look at high calorie foods with the cheapest costs, right? And minimize protein for less muscle growth.

I found this list, but it's for the States, where our food is highly processed and less regulated for health. Maybe it'll help?

Age is a huge factor. It’s hard to gain if you have a fast metabolism until you’re well past your late 20s.
I’d say trail mix, oatmeal, whole milk, any kind of bagged snacks and sandwiches are a really good place to start.
Also half & half and instant pudding should be on the cheaper side too.

Heavy cream chugs will do wonders for your waistline at very low cost, plus as you build up more and more tolerance for it you can chug more and more to get that butter soft bod you want :3

What works for me is not quality of unhealthy food but consistency. Eating 5 meals a day but having them small and cheap really worked. Like have breakfast lunch and dinner but at least a sandwich or something in between.

Can’t recommend enough heavy cream. It’s more or less cheap (cheap regarding the calories), but making daily shakes with full fat milk and Nesquick powder really helped me blow up last year 😉

Consistency is the key then, but a little boost of 1500 kcal in a pint/day is really helping 👌

Adding 2 sub meals, something affordable it doesn't even need to be relatively dense, just aim for an extra 4-500 more cals a day at first, go from there. Small snacks will help see you through too, important to get nutritional value. You can try adding a bit of full fat heavy cream to your coffee.
