My Experience:
I used bananas as hack for gaining weight,i struggled for gaining weight in teenage and i wasunable to eat enough for gaining weight.I even tried appetizers to increase my appetite ,but i wasn't able to gain much weight at all,until i found a way to gain it.The hack and only trick for it were Bananas.
I started eating Bananas and gained weight at faster pace and everyone noticed my progress and i did it without much of effort.Eating 6 bananas isn't hard at all.
But there is one thing you have to keep in check whether your body or throat react in form of allergy or not.I got allergy because of eating 6 or more bananas each and every day but that's not compulsory for you,you can check it yourself whether you should eat 6 banana daily or whether you need to decrease the amount of it.
Keep moving forward and use smart ways to do so!
