High clean calorie ideas

Im on a high calorie diet, and some days I'm so full
that I can't take another bite. I meet 2268 calories a day
sometimes more with workouts and weight lifting. I can't
do much more protein because I'm a little over everyday.
I'd like to stick with natural foods as well, no supplementing.

Eat more fat0

What protein guidline are you using? If it's MFP that's too low. Should be about 1 gram per pound of lean body mass.
Nothing low fat. Full fat dairy products were key for me when I was eating 3000 a day. Red meat, eggs, avocados, olive oil.0 -
Ice cream topped with nutella0
-
Get some cheese. Grill it in a pan on medium heat. Top with pecans and honey.0
-
Eat more fat
Ditto.
A teaspoon or two of olive oil or coconut oil will add a good amount of fat.0 -
My nutritionist/trainer tells me to stay away
from saturated fats. Am I missing something?0 -
Oh yeah great idea!! Thanks! I'm gonna
start using more olive oil.0 -
My protein is just always over at the end of
the day and for the week. I usually average 20%
for the week.0 -

Find out why from your trainer and post it, please.0 -
Ultimate sammich
2 medium bananas
Smooth Peanut Butter (a f*ckton)
Nutella (an even bigger f*ckton)
Jam (to taste)
Bread (3 slices, lightly toasted)
Smother one slice of bread with PB, slice a banana and put the slices on top, eating whatever doesn't fit. Put jam to taste on second slice of bread and place on top. Put more jam on top of resulting sandwich, again to taste. Slice second banana and place slices on second layer of sandwich, eating whatever doesn't fit. Smother third slice of bread with nutella and place it on top of the pile.
Enjoy.
Option 2:
Take whatever you're eating and add avocado, olive oil, butter, nut butter, nuts, fatty meat, or cream depending on which would taste best.0 -
Ok, just emailed him. I'll let you know as soon
as he emails me back.0 -

It's just BMR # (which is how many calories you burn to live without ever moving a muscle) X 1.15 or 15% for activity (walking, doing work, everyday stuff) = how many calories you burn to maintain your current weight. If you eat this same number you will stay the same weight. If you eat less you will lose weight, if you eat more you will gain weight. To gain I suggest eating 500 more than maitenance calories. BUT say you burn 500 calories working out. You now have to eat those workout calories too in order to be in a 500 calories surplus. If you don't workout, then you only need to eat 500 over maintenance calories! So you must eat the amount of calories you burn durring a workout on workout days + the 500 over maitenance calories, and days you don't workout you only need to eat 500 over maintenance calories.
Hope that helps.
So this is what I got back0 -
Nothing about saturated fats, new trainer?0

You could be a quitter and use a knife and fork or just make a big mess like I do. The latter is way more fun.0 -
Butter, avocados, peanut butter, coconut oil ( my personal fav!! I use in my coffee...drool)...some of my tops for adding cals that are "clean"0
-

Saturated fats were claimed to cause all sorts of problems. Most of those have little, if any, scientific backing. I wouldn't worry too much about it.0 -
More protein (if you're lifting weights, 20% is low) and more fat.0
-
I'd say if you want to fill in calories...
Almonds & coconut oil!
Good fats remember.0 -
Thanks for all the food ideas ladies and
gents. Especially love the drool idea

Your protein is low for your overall calorie intake and you eat a lot of carbs--healthy carbs it looks like, but still A LOT compared to how much protein you eat. People are suggesting you eat more fat--yes, more healthy, unsaturated fats like nuts, avocados, olive oil. And you're trainer is right; limit saturated fats--fats that's solid at room temp--cheese, fatty meats, and, butter. And butter BTW is not a 'clean' fat!! Ask your trainer what your macros should be based upon your goals--your profile says lose body fat--so probably more protein and unsaturated fats.0

That's the bad fats! Like the fat on a prime rib beef steak! It clogs your arteries! Along with other bad health things. EVOO, flax seed oil, cod oil, fish oils, walnuts, almonds, and avacodes are all good fats you need called essential fats!
Trainer reccomendations. Don't know what other email was for0 -

My understanding is that artificial trans fats are the only kind you should avoid. I think your trainers information is outdated.0
