Can someone please look at my diary for Monday and help me think of some easy calories I can gain without going over my sugar or carb macros?

    Straight away you can use full-fat Greek yoghurt and mayonnaise[*] instead of "low fat". A larger serving of avocado, a larger serving of olive oil ... a teaspoon of peanut butter. If you want to add calories without adding carbs, eating more fats is the easiest way to do it.

    [*] I feel as strongly as Monica Gellar on this: it's NOT REAL MAYONNAISE.

    ^ Forgot to mention no peanut butter haha.

    Thanks for the tips. Will definitely look for full fat greek yoghurt next time. The mayo was meant to be full fat but I only eat Praise and they did not have full fat at the store.

    Preplan. Keep some olive oil or any oil or butter around so that you can add it when you feel that you need to.

    ^ The day is pre-planned but I am a little under calories and I have a pretty intense cardio exercise waiting for me in the morning so I would rather not be under 1200 tomorrow
