Hey all,

I have done well finding foods I like that are low calorie, and have helped me lose to a good weight. With a new program I am doing, I have found that I need to up my calories closer to my Tdee to be most effective.

I am needing suggestions on what types of food that I can add that will be higher in calories without turning to my favorite junk. I have found myself thinking that I have a certain number of calories left for the day, and will eat whatever junk I can fit into that amount. While I still come under goal, I don't think eating a bunch of junk will help me lower my remaining body fat. So, what higher calorie, healthy foods do you eat?

    PEANUT BUTTER! Get some natural peanut butter that does not have hydrogenated oil in the ingredient list. It's very calorie dense, it's healthy, and delicious
