    This list can help too. I generally add fats (and Klondike bars) since I am already good with protein and carbs during my cuts

    I find that I'm good with cards and horrible when it comes to protein. All my life I've avoided meats. I need to learn how to incorporate it into my day

    Peanut Butter, Whole Milk, Eggs, Oatmeal, any type of nutrition bars, red meat (more fat), butter, oils, remember fat has 9 calories per gram as opposed to carbs and protein which has 4 calories per gram so in other words if you have a food item that has 9 grams of fat that's 81 total calories already for that one item as opposed if that item had just 9 grams of protein which would be 36 calories. Most foods have at least 2 out of the 3 macros if not usually all 3. But things like Tuna or Chicken breast while they are high in protein there is no fat so if you eat an 8 oz steak you're getting both protein and fat so the total calories for meat is much higher. If that makes any sense, this all helped me when I was trying to put on weight.
