200 Healthy Calories?

[Tarheel79 107]

I'd like to ask your help. I am only getting in 600-800 calories a day. I find that amount satiates me but I need to add about 200 calories each day to move further away from starvation mode, trying to jump start my metabolism. I am meeting goals for Protein, fat and carbs with very low to little sugar in my diet.

Do any of you have suggestions about what I might add to my food intake each day to add 200 healthy calories? I find I am only able to consume 3-4 ounces of protein at a time---- my first thought was to add a larger portion of protein but don't want to make myself sick or stretch out my sleeve.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can share!

Possibly add a couple fo healthy Snacks during the day

Maybe some almonds as a snack or string cheese. I tolerate the string cheese well.

--peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter - eat a tablespoonful, or add it to your Protein Shake if you do shakes

--handful of nuts as a snack

--add some guacamole to your Protein

--slice up some avocado and add to salad, or spice it up and bake it for avocado fries

--eat a slice or two of cheese

--put some grass-fed butter on your veggies

--drink whole milk instead of skim milk

--saute your meat or veggies in olive oil

--eat sardines canned in olive oil instead of leaner fish like tilapia

Do a 1-2 of these things per day and you'll hit 200 calories easily. I am not afraid of naturally occurring healthy fats!
