5 tablespoons of peanut butter is about 500 Calories. The rough-and-ready rule is that if you consume 3500 Calories over your metabolic requirements, you can expect to gain about a pound. If you start eating 5 tablespoons of extra peanut butter a day, that's about a pound per week. If it's a one-time thing, that's around 1/7 of a pound, or a couple of ounces ... just about the same as the weight of the peanut butter itself.

Which makes sense; fat is pretty calorie-rich compared to most foods, so a 1-to-1 ratio of weight of food consumed to weight gained is a pretty reasonable upper bound.

Can eating peanut butter with bananas help you to gain weight?

Yes, anytime you eat nuts there is a chance you will gain weight. Nuts are very high in fat and just eating moderate portions will help you to gain. The best nuts are peanuts and almonds, as they are mostly monosaturated fat and this is the kind of fat which is good for our bodies. You just want to make sure you are eating natural peanut butter because regular peanut butter is full of trans and saturated fat(bad for the heart.) Read the label, it should just have peanuts and salt in the ingredients. Bananas are also a very sugar dense fruit, so adding them to peanut butter will increase the total calories eaten while getting some important nutrients at the same time.
