    Increasing Calories

    Hi there, I have recently started the LE diet and I can't seem to get enough calories whilst sticking within the protein range. I'm eating 3 meals a day and am struggling to eat more than 1000 cals. Any suggestions welcome please!
    My diet includes;
    Homemade sodium free bread,
    Strawberry Jam,
    White rice,
    Pasta,
    Low fat Yogurt,
    Leeks,
    Green beans,
    Parmasan cheese,
    strawberries and raspberries
    Glass of milk per day
    Diet Coke

    Thanks

    full sugar pop is a great way to get calories. You can put sugar on your berries. Also, you have 25-60 g of fat to use, you don't HAVE to do low fat stuff if you need the fat and cals. You can use whipped cream, butter, mayo for calories.
    !!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!
