    Lower your protein intake by replacing it with a carb like rice or pasta.

    Oh, and fat to get your calories up.

    Eggs instead of egg whites.

    Tuna on a toasted bagel.

    That should do it.

    You're eating over 277 grams of protein but not getting enough calories and you don't know what to do?

    Eat less chicken breast (protein down) and more peanut butter (fat and calories up).




    And oreos.

    I would recommend moving off the old body building mantra and work in some real food. I would personally add more carbs and drop protein; include things like various types of rice, quinoa, lentils, legumes, fruits, potatoes, etc...

    Nuts. Easiest way to add calories imo.
