Jar of Peanut Butter Per Day
I've searched around and I can't find very much on Peanut Butter. People say its a good protein source and whatnot, but what about using it to gain weight like milk in the GOMAD diet? I don't know anything about diet or exercise, but peanut butter and milk seem to be almost equal besides the extra fat in peanut butter. Is this a problem? What would the effects be if I ate 1 18 oz jar of peanut butter per day for a couple of months? I'm 5'10 125 and only about 5 percent body fat if that matters.

Peanut butter packs calories and protein for weight gain, but don't overdo it. GOMAD-style peanut butter binges are unbalanced and unhealthy. Aim for a balanced diet with more calories from various sources. Strength training is key to building muscle alongside your diet. Your low body fat is impressive, but consider aiming for a healthier range during weight gain. Talk to a doctor or dietitian for a personalized plan to gain weight safely.
fwiw, Rich froning, the goaty crossfit guy used to basically survive during the day on peanut butter & jelly spoons and chocolate milk
I love spoons of PB but I think to consume large quantities for weight gain purposes it would be worth putting it into shakes with protein and milk and maybe a banana or two

Also, I like chiltanpure peanut butter and It commonly contains additional ingredients that modify the taste or texture, such as salt, sweeteners, or emulsifiers.
