Good things to eat to boost the calories without eating junk

iaho1976

Hi All,

On the days that I exercise I really struggle to eat enough to eat back my calories, the temptation is always to eat 'junk' to get the calories back up (I've even found myself slipping back into the morning bacon sandwhich). What would people recomend tp eat inorder to boost up the calories without just eating rubbish......

Thanks

Ian

Nuts, fruits, juice with no sugar added, greek yogurt, beans, peanut butter

Natural peanut butter is a good way to add back calories in a healthy way.... any nut butter or handful of nuts actually. That's what I do most of the time.

Nuts. One serving of peanuts is 170 easy to add cals quickly

Odwalla bars 200 calories each, and packed with protein and vitamins and whatnot. Oh, and they're yummy

the more protein the better.... so try adding things like cottage cheese, chicken, tuna, etc.... and a little bit more veggies. If you already consume some fruit dont add more. It might be natural sugar but its still sugar
