Hi Jack! I actually have quite a bit of experience with needing to gain weight...here are some foods that work well for me:
- Saltine crackers (relatively high calorie for the volume)
- Small handfuls of nuts
- Bananas mashed with low fat peanut butter powder (Amazing stuff - http://www.bellplantation.com/!!!)
- Vanilla soy milk with chocolate syrup, or chocolate soymilk
- Duocal (more amazing stuff - especially if you're able to get insurance coverage like I was able to! http://www.myduocal.com/)
- Cliff Builder's protein bars
- Syrups, jams, honeys...
- Homemade cookies (Modify recipes by using 2 egg whites per egg, applesauce instead of oil, and of course white flour. I also increase the sugar a bit or add a few chopped nuts sometimes for more calories)
- smoothies and shakes (made with frozen bananas, non dairy ice cream, small scoops of nut butters, coco powder, soymilk etc.)
Hope that helps a little!
