Tips for Increasing Calories While Keeping a Healthy Diet
* Add cheese, nuts and dressings made with olive, walnut or canola oil to salads.
* Eat starchy vegetables such as potatoes and corn more often.
* Choose dried fruits or fruit juices as healthy higher calorie snacks.
* Add cream or cheese sauces to fish and baked chicken breast.
* Choose herbs and spices to increase the flavors of your food rather than using too much salt.
* Add powdered milk to soups and sauces to add calories and protein.
* Peanut butter on whole grain bread, apples or celery sticks is a great source of protein and calories.
* Stick with healthy desserts, such as a bowl of berries with whipped topping and lot of chopped nuts.
* Add your healthy salad dressings to sandwiches and to top vegetables.
* If you don’t care for much meat, add legumes such as black beans, kidney beans and pinto beans as protein sources.
* Pick dark chocolate as a treat. Dark chocolate has anti-oxidants that other sweets don’t have.
oh and lot and lots of carbs such as whole grains, fruits and veggies.
