I recently just changed my carb goal to 100g. I was eating way over 200g a day so adjusting has brought me to under-eating calorie wise which I know isn't healthy. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any meals that are low in carbs but higher in calories. I usually can eat around 1003 calories without going over but I need to get to at least 1600. Thanks for your time.

A good way is to add lean proteins and healthier fats to your diet. Olive oils, some cheeses, etc.

Avocados - chop up & put on salad or in soup. Stuff with cream cheese, or shredded chicken & some monterrey jack & bake. I like to eat chicken salad or tuna salad on a chopped up avocado.
I love avocados & eat them regularly. They will definitely get your calories up!
As will spinach with a cream sauce & a little parmesan sprinkled on it.0 -

Hi Benefitting, Try out Dr. Atkin's cookbook, Atkin's for life. There are many low carb higher calorie foods in there. My fav is the paprika chicken - the whole fam enjoys it.0
