    Big fat bacon cheeseburger with avocado. Creamy pasta dishes (chuck some veg in the sauce). Steak with a jacket potato and sour cream. Pizza. Pretty sure you could make a 1,000 calorie salad if you use lots of meat/cheese/dressing/seeds. The smoothie/shake idea was a good one. Ice cream. Whole milk on cereal/in porridge. Full fat greek yogurt and granola. Banana & peanut butter on thick toast.

    You could try big portions or lots of snacks, whichever you prefer.

    Also, burgers should be topped with fried eggs.

    Just eat more of what you are already eating. It honestly isn't that hard. If you usually have one bowl of cereal, have two. If you usually have one glass of milk, have three. If you normally eat a two egg omelette, have a four egg omelette. Etc. Etc.

    I'm looking for ideas on how increase my calories without doubling my food intake. I know that's a simple solution but I can't stomach alot of food.

    You are 100% correct. What an oversight. OP should chuck one of those on too.

    Make sure all your dairy is full fat. Don't buy any low fat stuff. It's no good for you anyway. You burn an average of 500 extra calories if your baby is EBF. Around 300 if they are not EBF. Make sure you eat those calories back during the day. Don't set your calories at maintenance. Set them above maintenance. I've been breastfeeding for 14 months now and have the opposite problem but I think my metabolism is just wrecked.
