One slice toast with hummus and banana slices on top, half a cup of yogurt with black pepper and the rest of the banana slices mixed in, a Cutie orange

[/quote] As well as being confused by the raspberries (are you cooking them in water, or washing them, or as suggested above making infused water to drink?) I’m confused by the porridge! I don’t understand the milk, vegetable stock and water combination to cook oats in? What sort of porridge are you making that you have…

Yes, raspberry-infused water. It has a strong taste to it, so that's why I wonder about calorie absorption, seeing as a significant amount seems to absorb in the water. Afterwards, the actual raspberries get mixed into yogurt, I would eat it

Even if you aren't hungry at night...eat anyway if you need the calories. Eventually it will become a habit and you will start to get hungry at that time. If food is physically hurting to eat, I recommend taking an antacid. I second the high-fat foods thing - fats have the most calories at 9 calories per gram. So nuts,…

I was cooking it in the milk and then draining the liquids (water, vegetable broth, as well as milk). When I go to drain the liquids it's hard to separate the milk from everything else. Next time I make porridge, I will add hot milk after everything has been drained and see if it affects the taste or not..

Thanks for the response! That's a good idea, I will cook it in water and then add the milk in. And I guess when I remove the raspberries from the water, I can still eat them so the calorie log will be accurate. I really am curious about the absorption rate of the calories, I know it will differ from food to food and…

I wasn't draining water, draining raspberries from the water. Measuring what you drain is a great idea, but there's other things being drained along with the milk (water, vegetable broth, and spices) so not as exact as I would like unfortunately
