In need of some suggestions please. I recently had a child almost eight months ago and since then my weight has dropped below my comfort level. I have recently started getting serious about doing something about it but I am still having problems taking in as many calories as I need to. If anyone can share ways that they have found that help with this I would greatly appreciate it.

    Healthy fats (from almonds, extra virgin olive oil, flax seed, salmon) and the like are full of calories and healthy for your heart! Also, add two squares of 90% dark chocolate, that's an extra 50 calories and very healthy. I have mine when I wake up :)

    Good advice :)

    Another thing is that if you're using the low-fat or low-calorie versions of things, you can switch to the full-calorie versions instead. That way you get more while still eating the same amount. Me, I just sneak olive oil into everything...

    Yep, all good suggestions. Cottage cheese and tuna are also some good additions for protein.
