I’d say in a day, she may eat 500 calories and most of that being sugary drinks. Are there any supplements that add extra calories/nutrition that I could maybe mix in with her applesauce…

Fat free, no sugar foods
Are these foods at the grocery store labed "50% less fat", any healthier. Reading the back of package they always have more sugar and carbs then the original. For instance, I sampled some lays chips that are said to have less fat then the regular ones, but they have higher sodium and carbs, are they worth it?
