[QUOTE="Ledzeptt, post: 1950401, member: 160898"] Hi [USER=256148]@miahara[/USER] - Dave In addition to @Carty’s good suggestions, I also eat these... Add 1 tbsp olive oil (120 cals) or mayonnaise (90 cals) wherever possible (I avoid commercial salad dressings as they often include sugar) Olives (if you enjoy the taste) easily 100 cals a portion Peanut butter or other nut butters (90 cals for each tbsp) Boursin or similar soft cheese (about 70 cals tbsp) The problem with the last two is what to serve with - cucumber slices doesn’t cut it for me. My current favourite is GG Scandinavian Crispbread (from H&B or Amazon) at 2.9g carbs per cracker, plus another 31 cals. In addition, at this time of year especially, there are plenty of interesting cheeses to choose. (I’m not a big fan of cheese, but where I can, I’ll grate some cheddar and melt it into my food for another 80 cals or so.) Enjoy and Happy Christmas [emoji319] [/QUOTE]
