Does peanut butter helps in weight gain?

I'm quite underweight and trying to put on some healthy weight. My gym trainer suggested adding more nuts to my diet, and I like peanut butter. Does peanut butter help in weight gain, and if so, how much should I have?

Yes, it is a very cheap and effective way to put on healthy weight. Just add two tablespoons to your daily banana milkshake or spread it on normal roti. No need to buy expensive mass gainer powders.

Haha yes, look at the calories on the jar and you will get your answer! If you eat it directly from the tub while watching cricket, you'll gain weight in no time. Just enjoy it but don't finish the whole jar in a week.

I am trying to gain some weight because I am very underweight. Is it safe to eat peanut butter every day? Do I have to eat it at a specific time like morning or night for best results?

I can only speak from my personal journey. I was struggling to build muscle, so I started eating two peanut butter sandwiches daily. It helped me put on 4 kgs over three months without making me feel sluggish.

I want to try it for weight gain but I am scared it will cause breakouts on my face. Has anyone else experienced bad acne after starting daily peanut butter? Please let me know.

I struggle with my weight constantly due to thyroid issues. While peanut butter is a good calorie source, you must get your TSH levels checked first because hormonal imbalance might be the real reason you aren't gaining weight.

Bro, it's a lifesaver for hostel students. We don't get good protein in mess food, so I just buy a big jar of peanut butter and eat it with bread. Super cheap and definitely helps you bulk up.

I have tried giving my kids everything from ghee to dry fruits to help them grow well. Peanut butter is actually very practical and easy for today's kids. Mix it with warm milk and a little honey, it works beautifully.

Making your own peanut butter at home with a bit of honey is much better than buying processed ones. But if your weight loss is due to severe digestive issues or constant nausea, do see a specialist instead of self-treating.

If you are losing weight rapidly and trying to fix it just by eating heavy foods like peanut butter, please stop and get a full body checkup. I ignored my sudden weight loss for months and it turned out to be a major health issue that required hospitalization.
