So again, im at the end of my day and no where near my caloric intake. I'm thinking of eating some oatmeal before i go to bed, but even if i do that i still have at least 82 more calories to add. There is no way i can even eat the calories i burned today (add 157 on to that). So what do you put in your oatmeal to kick it up?

    nuts have lots of cals and healthy fat and oils. 1/4 cup unsalted cashews are 160, and fruit.

    peanut butter

    yup.

    another option is cottage cheese, if you need some protein. sounds weird, i know. just try it...

    I actually like a tablespoon of peanut butter in my oatmeal. When I want to indulge, i will put a tablespoon of Nutella in it. YUM!!!

    Ground or chopped flax seeds. Buttery taste and omega 3 fats (the good kind of fat).

    I put pb and banana in mine pretty regularly. I've been skipping the banana in an effort to minimize sugar.

    I have been known to cook my eggs and oats in the same dish, then eat them on the same spoonful. Yes, they taste just fine (to me :smile:)

    Im not sure how you make yours, but when I have a small amount of cals to burn I use water to make it and if I have more to burn I use Milk to make it!! It is way yummy and adds some calories with out more food to stuff your full tummy:) Try that if you are not already doing that.

    I love to add sliced almonds, dried cranberries, and a little brown sugar/Splenda mix. This gives you some calories, protein, sugar, etc. Gives it a little kick and crunch. Got the idea from Starbucks who has THE BEST oatmeal ever. Fruit/nut mix and brown sugar pkg come separate so you can add what you want.

    I always start with plain oatmeal so I can add whatever I want, but I put in chopped walnuts, blueberries or blackberries and cinnamon

    grass-fed butter! the absolute, and I mean absolute, BEST addition to almost any food. a good tablespoon or two. I swear you won't ever look back. I also like coconut oil or coconut cream concentrate, but butter is my hands-down favorite. regular butter would be okay too, but I promise that if you get some good-quality butter from cows raised on grass, you won't believe what you've been missing.
