Need to eat more calories...what to eat????

[Feijoa Mum]

these are all 150cal snacks and are really yum to help boost your numbers.


4 tablespoons hummus with 12 baby carrots

1 cup non fat or 1% cottage cheese with 1/3 c pineapple chunks mixed through it (sounds bad but give it a go)

2 x rye cruskits with 4 tablespoons cottage cheese

fat free yoghurt with 2 tablespoons muesli

1/2 an apple with 4 tablespoons cottage cheese mixed with blueberries

2 rice cake with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter


I know it is a struggle to get your mind around the eating more to lose weight (I struggle big time with this it feels so wrong) but I agree, break everything up smaller so that you are eating 6 times a day. Every 3 hours I try to have something and these little snacks are quick and easy.


Keep it up

my usual lunch is a small can tuna with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrot and half an avocado followed by 3 pieces of fruit which may be grazed through the afternoon. (they laugh at me at work as they say I eat fruit all afternoon). Sometimes that fills me until dinner but often about 3.30 I snack on nuts (almonds are good). so I would add the avo to your lunch occasionally and get some nuts.
But I agree that if you are not hungry don't eat. I pretty much eat the same thing 4 days a week at work and some days I am totally full and could not squeeze another thing in and some days I need the nuts. so listen to what your body is saying. good luck.
