in Food and Nutrition
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.

    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.

    Get some cheese. Grill it in a pan on medium heat. Top with pecans and honey.

    Ditto.

    A teaspoon or two of olive oil or coconut oil will add a good amount of fat.

    My nutritionist/trainer tells me to stay away
    from saturated fats. Am I missing something?

    My protein is just always over at the end of
    the day and for the week. I usually average 20%
    for the week.

    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.

    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 back

    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.

    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.

    More protein (if you're lifting weights, 20% is low) and more fat.
