Good things to eat to boost the calories without eating junk

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 :)

    Eggs, nuts, nut butters, 2% cheese, protein shakes and bars, beans, bananas
  • 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
