According to my trainer I am not consuming enough calories! I never though I would hear that, but apparently it's true. I need ideas on what I can add to my daily meals/snacks throughout the day to help increase my calorie intake.
On a note, I am a vegetarian (lifestyle choice, not something to help me lose weight) and I am gluten intolerant. Any tips would greatly help!

That's a really good idea, unfortunately it also has too much sodium! One thing I'm not lacking in!
As for the previous post, that's a great idea! All of it, I'm not much of a milk drinker, but I have been using it lately with all the meals I can.0
