Look, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (I assume I'm talking to a mostly American audience, please substitute jam if not) comes in at between 350-500 cals (depending on bread type and amount of PB/spread/jam used).

Make 2 PB&J sandwiches a day and eat them in between meals as a snack. It's an easy way to add 800-1000 cals to your day without even trying.

Spending money on "ensure plus" shakes (whatever they are) is not necessary. You need to lay down the eating habits to gain. After a week or two, your body will expect more calories and will make you appropriately hungry - you've just got to make an honest start and dedicate yourself to eating like this for 2 weeks.

Call me suspicious, but is "ensure plus" some kind of MLM deal?

Im not american plus can't eat peanut butter as im allergic

Fair enough.

Two slices of bread, 14g spread, 30g cheddar is about 400ish cals.

Easy.

The point is that you don't need to buy a special product. Add some calorie dense foods between meals. The ensure drinks help because they are calories in addition to food the boy is already eating. Milkshakes (or a shake with milk, oats, cocoa, fruit, or whatever ingredients you want) would do the same thing.

The answer is to eat more. If you're full; drink more. Fruit juice, shakes, whatever, but the answer is to take in more calories.

Ensure is a drink with nutrients and high calories that is used in hospitals, etc, for people with no appetite, or that can't eat much for whatever reason. It tends to be easier for people with no appetite to get down.

Thankyou I'll try that .
