Well, I was wrong about eating more

What do you mean, you don't like peanut butter. I know people with allergies who admitted to loving the taste of peanut butter even though it just about killed them. Literally! This is not a slam on you but in 56 years Ive never heard those words before!

You are about to hear them again: I like Thai peanut sauce, and I like peanuts themselves, but I don't like peanut butter. I have tried for years to eat it because it is so dang convenient: it's nutritious, it's portable, it can be in an ingredient or stand on its own, it's kind of the Leatherman Pocket Tool of food. But there's something about the texture where it gets to the back of my throat and GUCK it comes right back up.

So, rather than spend every office lunch break hunching my shoulders and making cat-hairball noises in public, I simply do not bring peanut butter sandwiches. It's a hard life, but it's the life I've chosen.

High calorie protein bars, high calorie protein shakes, add avocado to a lot of stuff, add cheese to almost all foods or even add fried eggs on top of meats (my personal favorite), ice cream, peanut butter or eat meats that aren't as lean (prime rib vs sirloin).

You need to eat more with a particular weight gain goal. If for example you are very active, you can eat more without consequences. If your goal is muscle mass, eating more is critical with large protein intake. If it's cardio you are after, you will burn lots of calories and naturally boost your metabolism so you will be hungry for the right reasons.
