Need some food ideas

Noor13

As having suffered from ED I really have troubles to hit my 2000kcal per day

I am even thinking of doing a metabolism reset, but I don't know what to eat in order to hit the calorie goals

I am using protein shakes already, and I want to meat my Protein needs as well. I also eat at least 30-50 grams of nuts every day. I am not a big meat eater though.

Please give me some input, on how I can get there the best way, eating clean.

I don't like to eat processed food, whenever possible.

Thanks Ladies, I am getting a bit frustrated, really.

It's a constant struggle to get the calories in.

You should eat full fat versions of things and calorie rich foods as well as increase your portion sizes by a small amount.

Greek yogurt, chocolate milk, add another serving of nuts, avocado, a protein bar, eggs.

I was going to say protein shakes and nuts as well b/c that is what I use to get my protein and my calories up to 1800/day....Try using olive or coconut oil when you saute veggies or put a tablespoon or two in your protein shakes....Also adding peanut butter to your shakes as well...Cottage cheese has tons of protein & cheese sticks are a good....Yogurt is really good for calories and greek yogurt is great for protein....Even protein bars...I hope some of these sound good to you....Good luck!!

Avocados, peanut butter, bagels, cheeses, granola, eggs...

Thank you guys

As I don't like peanut butter too much, I will go for almond butter I think

Thanks for all your input. I guess I will have to switch to Greek Yoghurt.

You are great , Ladies

My meal last night scored 70g of protein(according to the site)which I was surprised at

1 piece whole grain toast
1/2 avocado mashed on it......mmmmm
200g cooked ccken breast
50 grams bacon
Tomato

I seriously didnt think I'd get through that much chicken but I was hungry after a heavy weight session and small lunch due to commitments.

I try and eat clean too and cook from scratch . The only processed stuff I have had in 4 weeks is bread, protein powder and a small bar know and again. But I live where we can and im lucky to have the time too as well.

Good luck with your journey

cottage cheese and oatmeal pancakes are nice (well I like em!!)

50g rolled oats
100g cottage cheese
2 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnomen

Blend all above and then use non stick pan/ olive oil/ fry light and put small pancake sized blob in pan and fry till golden each size.

I eat them with berries and greek yogurt... yum yum yum!

Also if you want to increase your kcal in a healthy way add in udo or olive oil and seeds to your salads and fruit to your protien shake to make smoothies.... super healthy and super yummy :-)
