    Try nuts. Nuts are calorie rich (so be careful!) and full of fiber.

    They are great for filling calories throughout the day.

    Try a small handful of nuts (not roasted or salted!) with your fruit. It will definately help with your hunger and boost your cals in a healthy way.:smile:

    I was just going to suggest putting 1-2 tbsp of natural unsalted peanut butter (100 cals per tablespoon approx.) on a plain rice cake (about 40 cals).... voila!!! 240 calories with less than 20 mg of sodium
