Healthy Calorie Dense Foods

[Light94]

hi i am having problems eating enuff food to get rid of fat. i'm only eating 400 cals per meal with 1700 cals a day but i need 2700 cals & 540 cals per meal. can you help me find some healthy calorie dense foods Thanx

[simeezee]

peanut butter : )

[LoRdAc][d]

the densest healthy food I've found is whole wheat bagels, whole wheat pasta, almond butter, tuna, quaker healthy choice oatmeal (banana bread is my favorite )

[caa5000]

favorite is PB&J. Pizza works too. So does lean beef hamburgers. calories in<calories out=weight loss.

[gamesguru]

Nuts. 1 oz = 180 calories. Don't go over 600 kcals/day from fat though. So ~2.5 oz per day with other sources of fat.

yeh nuts are very calorie dense and also very good for you. High Protein, High fat (good fats) and low in carbs. carefull though as they really are calorific. i had a 100g bag of mixed nuts (natural, nothing added) and it was 650cals! tasty though

[Bignbuff]

Throw some whole eggs in there too, to help. Natural Peanut Butter is also good.

PB + Oats + Milk + + Ice + Egg Whites (Pasteurized) + Blender =

[mcFreid]

Steel Cut Oats are twice as dense as Old Fashioned / Rolled oats

[goodfella0729]

pb, almonds, beef jerky (high protein for how much you eat), oats.

Wait. I agree with the answers in this thread, but I have your BMR at 2125. That means that 1700 is fine on off days, and about 2100-2400 on workout days depending on activity level.

As much as I like natural peanut butter, it is not something I would eat during a cut.

[wlknier]

why not? healthy fats, moderate protein, great tasting, if it fits into the caloric intake, game on

to the OP:

my general rule of thumb to reach a caloric goal like yours

5-6 meals, all evenly portioned with a combo from this list below

1 serving whole grains - 150-200 cals
1 serving lean protein - 100-150 cals
1 serving fruit or veggie - 20-100 cals
1/2 serving healthy fat - 50-100 cals

So ex: Breakfast
1/2 cup oatmeal - 150 cal, add cinnamon, imitation vanilla, squirt of stevia
3 whole eggs - 210 cal
1 banana - 90 cal
1/2 serving healthy fat - skip since eggs added fats(not healthy though)

Lunch/Dinner
2/3 cup pinto beans - 180 cal
5oz chicken breast - 150 cal
2 cups baby spinach - 20 cal
1/2T olive oil(cooked into chicken or pour over spinach) - 65 cal

Snack
2 slices whole grain bread - 200 cal
4oz ham/turkey/roast beef - 120 cal
1 apple - 80 cal
greens on the sandwich - 10 cal
1/2oz cashews/almonds/pecans - 90 cal
