Turn Familiar Dishes Into High-Cal Versions
Attempting a big dietary change is challenging — no matter which direction you happen to be going. Overhauling your menu with a lot of new ingredients, flavors and textures can be too much for your taste buds to handle, and your digestive system might react poorly, too.
One solution is to take your favorite dishes and turn up their calories with a few easy adjustments.
First, get rid of low-fat dairy options: sub half and half for milk in your coffee and start topping more meals with butter and cheese. These are natural, high-fat options your body can process well, with enough nutrients to keep your muscles, bones and organs strong. Sauces are also quick ways to boost the calorie count of any meal.
