Any tips on getting kids to gain weight? Favorite ways of hiding higher calories? Thank you!

Smoothies with full-fat dairy and peanut butter (or PB powder).

Throw out Ellyn Satter and feed them what they like.

My kid loves carbs, so I try to make baked goods with whole grains, fat, and protein–banana muffins with lentils (from Kids Eat in Color) and Kodiak cake waffles with whole milk, eggs, and chocolate chips are both big hits.
We make “hot milk,” which is whole milk with vanilla, microwaved for 45 seconds.
We entice him to eat toast with nut butter and smoothies by letting him put sprinkles on them.
Butter and oil on vegetables. Dips or spreads with every snack (Kiddo complains, but I stand crackers up in his hummus).
We serve at least one thing he likes at every meal.
We serve some high-fat, processed meats, like bratwurst, bacon, and chicken nuggets, especially if we’re having a protein he doesn’t like.
I should add that none of this is actually working, lol.

My now 6 year old was super choosy as a preschooler. She wasn’t stereotypical toddler picky and half of it was her asserting her right to fight about foods. She only ate cucumbers, smoked meats (pepperoni, salami, bacon, etc), hard boiled eggs (no yolk), meatballs, plain pasta and…maybe apples? I tried the tricks I’d hiding protein powder, drinking calories etc but she hated it all. Other than copious butter on pasta we just had to get her liking higher calorie foods.
We finally got lucky and she took to Nutella, so she ate Nutella sandwiches with raspberries and a cup of milk for like…100 days in a row. This year she fell in love (out of nowhere) with Reese’s so I now mix peanut butter and Nutella and we call it “Reese’s breakfast.”
One weekend she had a bacon egg & cheese from Dunkin’ Donuts and took to it so we started adding those in. Over the summer she helped make dinners and started to like hamburgers (home cooked only, kid will not eat fast food! On road trips she has to have her own food or ends up eating a happy meal of apple slices or a jr bacon cheeseburger at Wendy’s minus the burger).
We just kept putting food in front of her and turns out she lives (mild) saag paneer. I found out the hard way when we ordered takeout and she swiped my entire dinner!
I also always encourage her to try school lunch but I pack her a lunch too. She’s in K and so far has discovered she likes the school chicken nuggets and bagel lunch.

I didn’t mention it but she was like 10%tile for weight for height. Between age 4 and and 6 she “hulled out” and went from a frail fawn like kid to a super muscular one seemingly overnight (she does gymnastics and soccer and dance).

Lots of good advice above. Peanut butter, avocado, whole milk yogurt and other full fat dairy. When my son fell off the weight chart, we would serve carnation instant breakfast made with whole milk and half-half.
(Also- a weekend thread for moms!!!)

My 3.5 year old is pee trained and seems happy and enthusiastic about using the potty for #2, but she only makes it there in time maybe a third of the time. More often than not by the time she says “I have to poop” it’s already in progress. We have talked about listening to her body and going to the bathroom whenever anything feels it might be coming out, but it just doesn’t seem to be clicking. We’ve tried putting her on the potty after every meal but that’s never worked and she’s very resistant to sitting when she says she doesn’t have to go (she was this way with pee too). Any advice? Is there a way to teach her to better anticipate it?
