High Calorie Snacks

SpecialSundae

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, avocado, granola bars?

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?
