    Thanks :)  We're already using loads of peanut butter, flax oil and olive oil in his blends but even at 2500 calories/day he's losing some weight.  I've just upped that to 3000 to see what happens and I'm hesitant to add more oils.  Since we're blending his meals from 'real' food I'm fairly comfy with adding some of the 'not so healthy' calories.  I am going to look for the coconut and sesame oils just for variety.
