Answer 2

Peanut butter is WONDERFUL for you. You can use this on:
Sandwiches (use a really good whole grain bread that is packed with seeds for extra protein and "good for you" calories)
You can pair the peanut butter with bananas, jelly, raisins, or anything else your heart desires. (I've heard that alot of people LOVE bacon and peanut butter sandwiches, and I would actually try that, it sounds yummy to me!)

You can also eat high calorie desserts and meats and anything else you crave......just have a good variety of foods and that is the best thing you can do!
When you make pasta, mix some olive oil w/ the noodles before you put sauce on it. If dining out, ask that the restaurant does this for you, or do it yourself at the table. You can do this w/ vegetables too, to add extra calories. It taste delicious and is good for you.

Cheese is a great snack for you. By blocks of cheese and cut them up to eat w/ crackers. Make sure you add it to all your sandwiches.......there are so many kinds to choose from!

Nuts and seeds..........keep them around all the time to munch on. A great source of protein and energy. Make your own trail mix.......using ingredients you find at the store.

Keep snacks around you all the time, and make sure to check out the protein bar selection at your local store.

Answer 3

NUTS – Although most nuts contain heart-healthy monounsaturates and other helpful ingredients, they are high in calories and fat. Just watch how many handfuls you are eating especially with drinks. Count the calories!

BANANAS – Highly nutritious with plenty of useful minerals and vitamins, bananas are a healthy snack but remember 1 medium/118g banana carries 115.6kcals.

PEANUT BUTTER – Healthy with monounsaturated fats but just one Teaspoon/10g spread over a slice of bread carries 62.3kcals. In general watch out for spreads. Even when spread thinly they can push up the day’s calorie count by quite a lot.

FRUIT JUICES, PURE – Drinking a glass of fruit juice is a healthy option counting towards your 5 a day fruit & vegetable quota. But do watch how many glasses you are drinking. A glass at breakfast and then a couple throughout the day could mean you are unwittingly notching up a lot of calories.

Orange Juice, 1 Glass/200ml = 87.7kcals
Drink 3 glasses and you have totalled 260kcals
Pineapple Juice, 1 Glass/200ml = 100kcals
Drink 3 glasses and you have totalled 300kcals

Apple Juice, 1 Glass/200ml = 94kcals
Drink 3 glasses and you have totalled 282kcal

Grapefruit Juice, 1 Glass/200ml = 76kcals
Drink 3 glasses and you have totalled 228kcals

YOGHURTS – There are endless different yoghurts on the market today – fat free, low fat, natural, lite, and healthy. Yoghurts carry a healthy image. But you do need to be careful with which choices you are making regardless of what the packaging says. A product from Sainsbury’s – Natural Yoghurt With Honey, Greek Style, oozes connotations of being good for you and healthy but one 150g pot has 243kcals.

PASTA – Pasta is not necessarily as high in calories as you might think. A 75g serving of Pasta Twirls which is a reasonable portion contains 259.5kcals and with a tomato based sauce can make a filling and nutritious meal that does not overload the calories. The idea that pasta is packed with calories comes from portion sizes which can be too high. A 100g serving notches up 346kcals. Watch the portions and be careful with the olive oil and cream.

DRESSINGS – Dressings can liven up any salad. In liquid form and just a Tablespoon used it’s easy to think dressings carry minimal calories. A 1 Tbsp serving of different dressings can carry between 50 to 80+ kcals alone:-

1 Tbsp/15g/15ml Serving:-



Caesar, Classic, Sainsbury’s
= 66.3kcals

Caesar, Gourmet, Waitrose
= 71.9kcals

Caesar, Somerfield
= 82.1kcals

Caesar, Tesco
= 71.3kcals

Caesar, Loyd Grossman
= 51.3kcals

Italian, Newman’s Own
= 81.8kcals

Texas Ranch, Frank Cooper
= 81.8kcals

French, Morrisons
= 74.9kcals

French, Somerfield
= 73.5kcals

French, Co-Op
= 70kcals




BREAKFAST CEREALS – Breakfast is an important meal and kick-starts your day. Get into the habit of eating breakfast but make it a healthy option not one which will start off your day by over-doing the calories. There are loads of breakfast cereal options. Most make a healthy choice but guessing at portion sizes makes it easy to over-fill your bowl. If you are eating 10 or 20 grams more of your chosen cereal each day than the recommended portion size it's easy to overdo the calories.

Corn Flakes, Kellogg’s

1 Serving/30g gives you 111kcals

1 Serving/50g gives you 185kcals

Difference of 74kcals

Over a 7 day period a difference of 518kcals

A LITTLE BIT OF BUTTER OR MARGARINE – A piece of bread and butter seems harmless enough. Many will concentrate on the calorie content of the bread and believe it to be loaded with calories. But how much butter are you actually spreading?



Butter or Margarine, Average

Thin Spread/7g = 51.4kcals

A blob/10g = 73.5kcal

Thick Spread/12g = 88.2kcals

Lashings/15g = 110.2kcals



The piece of bread toasted is not the problem!

Bread, Brown, Toasted 1 Slice/24g = 65.3kcals

Bread, White, Toasted 1 Slice/24g = 63.6kcals



By carelessly spreading lashings of butter or marg on to the toast you are making this a calorie-filled breakfast or snack.

NB Unless you are thinly spreading your butter, you are actually consuming more calories from the butter than the piece of toast.

Answer 4

Granola is usually semi-high in calories...some trail mixes, too. Foods that are high in fat, even the "good" fats like nuts, are usually consequently higher in calories. Full-fat milk or yogurt, possibly.

Answer 5

all i can think of right not is an avocado
