(+) Yeah! (+)

Are you trying to just get fat, or actually bulk up?

bulk up.

To gain muscle, you need to hit the gym and eat protein powder. To gain fat, just drink alcohol or eat fast food.

Then you want to increase your protein more so than you want empty calories. FYI a rough measure is someone seriously trying to put on muscle should aim for 1g of protein per lb of body weight. So you should be aiming for 145g of protein a day. You won't need to hit that, especially if you're just getting started, but being aware of your macro targets will help you better pick food. For comparison, a chicken breast is about 30g of protein. 2 tablespoons of peanut butter are 8g of protein.

If you're looking cheap, your best bet is to meal prep each week by buying bulk chicken breast, broccoli, and rice. You can mix up seasoning to add variety or cook the chicken in different ways, but if you stick to simple ingredients prepared yourself you can hit those targets on the cheap.

Or if you have good genes just hit the gym and hit it hard and it doesn't matter what you eat.

Easy to eat an entire jar in one sitting

IIRC, peanut butter is the most calories per dollar or something. It has a decent amount of fat though. Eggs and lean meats like chicken are basically all protein
