To preface, I kind of know the answer to this. I’ve put on weight before but I was hoping to get advice on how to go about better/more efficiently. I guess my question is really: what are healthy high calorie foods I can use to put on weight?
I’ve been underweight pretty much my entire life. I don’t think I have a chronic eating disorder, but there are times where I just don’t want to eat. I believe, however, that’s actually not my largest issue.
I’m potentially too health conscious. I’m vegetarian by accident (So I dated this girl right…) mostly, and as a result I eat a lot of nutrient-dense but calorically-low foods. I’m currently sitting just under 56kg (125 lbs) at 180cm (5’11ish). My plan currently is to just eat more often, and slowly ramp up how much I eat at each meal. About 6 years back I managed to hit 77kg by eating 4/5 large meals per day but then lost it all over the years by being sedentary and losing my appetite.
Peanut butter is rather calorie dense. On sandwiches, as a dip, in sauces, or by the spoonful. Potatoes are quite nutritious and especially delicious when mixed with things like cream, butter, etc.
Organic chunky peanut butter is addictive by the spoonful
Should do potatoes more often. I really like peanut butter but haven’t kept it around in a while, I could definitely do with some more PB&Js. I do peanut sauces on my noodles quite often as well
You need to integrate the food with a workout regimen to build some muscle.
This might sound weird, but it’s delicious if you like peanut butter: mix it with some high-fat, plain Greek yogurt and it’s divine.
I also sometimes sprinkle some fibre buds or chopped pecans on top 🥵
