Thank you. I'm so unsure of what to make and what to eat so I'm trying to think of different things.
I rarely like breakfast for breakfast (breakfast for dinner is awesome). I used to eat whatever I wanted for breakfast. Leftovers from the night before, salads, whatever. Now, I don't really bother, just have coffee in the morning and have a protein shake and a spoonful of peanut butter as a mid-morning snack.
Just find what works for you. No reason to thing of breakfast as only being certain kinds of food.
Right now I'm forcing myself to eat. I forget to eat or don't realize I haven't eaten and it will be 1 or 2 in the afternoon.
If you're not hungry, you don't have to force yourself if you can get your calories in later in the day (I love larger dinners, so I try to save a majority of my calories for dinner).
If I don't force myself to eat something than I only take in 700 calories or so. Or eat one small thing. I think I would lose weight if I actually ate.
We must teach you the ways of eating very calorie dense foods...
I could probably eat your calorie goal in one sitting. Want a burrito, I could easily do a 1000 calorie, nutrient dense one:
tortilla, quac, shredded cheese, chicken (or sliced steak if you want high calories), rice, beans, corn, and pica de gallo.
Seriously, high calorie is very easy. You could even have your burrito later in the day or modify your eating schedule to slide all your meals right. Breakfast at 10am, lunch at 3pm, dinner at 8pm. Or eliminate the first, and add in two snacks or one snack and one desert.
High calorie, high nutrient foods: avocado, oils (olive, coconut), butters (peanut, almond), cheese (I could literally eat a brick), oatmeal with protein powder, chocolate milk with a scoop of protein, Cliff Builder bar, red meats (marinade them for extra calories), bacon, eggs, more bacon, dark fish (salmon and tuna) and most importantly... even more bacon.
It's not just that I'm not getting enough calories. I'm not fueling my body enough. I want to make healthy choices and lose weight by doing it.
The "healthy" choice is fueling your body. Focus on calorie dense, whole foods, and you can add in treats as long as your overall diet has a wide range of nutrients. Some high calorie whole foods: nuts, nut butters, cheese, avocados, full fat dairy in general, oil (I could kill some bread dipped in oil and herbs, but even just adding oils to vegetables and other things you cook can help), etc.
And yes, your breakfast sounds great for helping you hit your calorie goal.0 -

Healthy choices is based on the entire context of your diet. Most of the foods i provided have a significant amount of beneficial nutrients; ranging from omega-3 fatty acids, complete proteins and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Keep in mind that high calories doesnt mean low nutrient, just like low calories doesnt mean high nutrient.0 -
