Upping My Cal Intake

Hey guys, I need some advise from anyone who can relate please. I increased my calorie intake a couple weeks back because I found out I had been netting under 1200 for quite a while. Now I'm having the problem of eating enough! By the time it's the end of the day, I'm really full but I still have a substantial amount of calories left over. Any ideas for small snacks that happen to be high in calories, but low in fat and sugar?

Any advice will be much appreciated :smile:

    Instead of eating snacks, add more to your meals.

    Some white rice would fill your requested needs - low in fat and sugar; pure starch.

    Sorry I should have mentioned that due to health concerns, I need to be very careful about eating bulky meals. But thank you very much for taking the time to respond,I really appreciate it :smile:

    Aim for calorie dense foods such as nuts, or nut butters, or other proteins such as cottage cheese, hummus etc.
