Healthy ways to "top up" calories
Can anyone recommend healthy ways to precisely "top up" calories, when you're aiming for a particular calorie limit? Often my meals fall a bit short of my target, so I sometimes have yogurt to top it up, but I don't know if this is the most healthy every day. Does anyone recommend Huel, Fast800 shakes etc. for this purpose?

So in January I decided to try again and this time set my weight loss goal to just 1 pound per week, figuring it's much better to go slower and actually be successful. This gave me tons of extra calories, 1690 per day, which…
