    Avocados are a great source of calories if you like them. Full fat everything. Take some time while someone else is at home or during naptime to prepare some snack bags of pre-measured food you like, and everytime your baby needs to eat, grab one and eat it. I have a freezer full of premade, portioned food that I can grab when I'm hungry and time is short.

    Do u like fruits or veggies? Grab and apple, pear, plum, banana, cucumber, etc and snack on them. Something easy to do that requires no cooking.

    Also make a sandwich, smoothie, protein shake, eggs, toast, brown rice. If u stay busy with the baby cook meals while the baby naps or is content playing and make enough for a few days so u don't have to think about it each day.
