    Add calorie dense foods like healthy peanut butter, avacado, lean protein, almonds, greek yogurt, etc. Drinking calories can also help-- I use fruit smoothies to get some of my fruit in. Also I have 2 pugs so I love your profile pic :)
  • pugs are the best!!!!!!!!! i eat almonds everyday i guess i need to eat a larger breakfast i was told to get the sugar in my diet early in the day thanks for the advice
