If you're just under your calorie target, you can add high calorie snacks or toppings to gain weight. Do you like nuts and seeds? Avacados? Olive oil? Cheese?
You can buy or make lots of nice high fat nut snacks, roast them with your favourite spices if you like flavour or just a little salt if you prefer blander stuff. Snack on them throughout the day, and schedule times to have a portion of you're not naturally a snacker. Sprinkle them over salads or rice bowls or whatever.
Dip nice bread in olive oil and vinegar (with some zatar or other spice mixes if your like). Shallow fry things in olive oil - take slices of nutrious but calorie light vegetables, dip in a simple tempura batter of cornflour and water, then fry in olive oil. Crispy, fresh, delicious and lots of calories.
So you eat desert? Start having nice fruit with heavy cream poured over the top. Use cream in sauces or add to mashed potatoes, vegetable gratins, etc.
Hey, Beavis. He said “fat nut.” Heheheheh.
Cool.
Good calls. I do avocados a lot and have been ramping up my oil use lately. I used to do a lot of nuts but have stopped recently due to bits getting stuck in my tonsils (I really gotta get them fuckers removed. Big af and cavernous for no reason)
I don't do a lot of super sugary things like cakes or candy. I used to have really poor dental hygiene which made those foods physically painful to eat and even now I don't choose them often. Fruits with creams are a great idea though, and yesterday I actually had to slam some chocolate because I could feel my blood sugar getting low lol
Research well before getting your tonsils removed. They're not vital, but they're an important immunity center.
I'm aware. I'm also aware that my family has had issues with their tonsils for several generations - especially as they get older. I'd rather bite it in the ass when before they cross the line into harming instead of helping. I'm gonna talk to an orthodontist or whatever and get their opinion on when would be best to do that.
I appreciate the reminder to be diligent
