Im going to take these ideas too, never thought of natural peanut butter ! YUM !
And forgot about oatmeal too lol, and ill try sweet potatos
Where are your fats? Fats are instrumental to solid gains for someone with a fast metabolism. Olive oil, peanut butter, etc…Peanut butter. Lots and lots of it. I could bump up calories exponentially with that without getting overly filled. Add fish oil and fatty fish too. More veggies too.
I say just try and construct 6 meals a day.
The first 3: Protein & Carbs
The last 3: Protein and Fats
To start, keep it simple. Follow those two rules and get enough calories.

Snack
More turkey 4-5 thick slices (i love the stuff i eat about .5 to 1 lb a day just as a snack)
maybe some junk like these mini doughnuts, a teaspoon of olive oil here and there

The guy said he has a dairy allergy, so all these milk and cheese recommendations aren’t giving him much help.
Hey man, i found that weight gainer has really helped for snacks. You’re fueling your body with 500+ Calories, lots of good carbs and protein. Helped me gain heaps of weight over the years…
nobody ever pays attention to that conorh, even my mom forgets. Liquid food sounds like a very good idea but i live with 3 girls and i know if im using the blender all the time they will start complaining. And when they do its like 500 blenders going off all the time
I agree with you there, thank god for shaker cups!
It’s been a hard lesson for me to learn as well, but everyone is right. It comes down to eating more calories. If you are not gaining on a consistent trend, then you need to eat more of anything. Don’t worry so much about where the calories come from. You are young with a fast metabolism, eat away. Adding in fat (olive oil) is great, not very filling and easy extra calories.
Also, someone mentioned juice. It is so easy to chug down 2 cups of pineapple juice and still eat an hour later. Also try to add in foods that will make you hungry soon after eating them, ie. for me it’s white rice. If I eat that I am starving an hour later, even if I eat it with protein (which I do.)
Don’t worry so much about the specifics, or “I am losing my abs, or whatever”. Just EAT, and if you are not sure, eat some more. Later you can tweak it once you find out what works. And if you eat more and start gaining, and then the gains slow down again, guess what…Eat more, maybe a lot more. And do it consistently. If you don’t hold that weight for a while it won’t stick. You are fighting your body’s natural tendencies. It doesn’t want to add that extra weight so you have to make it.
