in Health and Weight Loss
My husband has been eating pretty much what I eat but doesn't need to lose weight, so he's been dropping weight like rocks. He's on 2500-3000 for maintenance and I'm cutting at 1900-2000.

I need to give him high calorie, healthy, snacks to keep him from losing more weight. Any suggestions?

    Nuts, full fat cheese, avocados (I like them in egg and tuna salad, on toast), full fat greek yogurt with honey and flax seeds (I add almonds for crunch and dried cranberries).

    Full fat yogurt
    cheese
    hummus with pita chips
    guacamole and tortilla chips
    nuts
    trail mix
    granola with full fat yogurt
    peanut butter sandwiches
    pb and crackers
    pb and banana
    pb and apples
    seeds --sheeled pumpkin or sunflower seeds--he can easily eat 500 calories in a couple mouthfuls.

    Increase portion sizes

    You think I haven't tried that? :-p

    Seriously, we eat a lot but there's no point in increasing his portion sizes at mealtimes even further if he physically struggles to eat what he currently gets.

    This morning he had two breakfasts and a snack as well as our usual big lunch, so hopefully that will have helped.

    Does he have a profile?

    Is he having carbs?
