Healthy & Calorie-dense?

[Triskeliongirl]

If you are losing weight on such a high caloric intake, maybe a visit to your doc is in order. You know sudden weight loss is an early warning sign of diabetes, and with your family history, perhaps its worth being evaluated, even if only to rule this out as a possible cause.

If you are fine, then obviously foods like nuts and avocados are calorically dense, healthy, and yummy!

olive oil is my friend.

I love this problem!

I am maintaining my weight but I am eating way over maintenance while I am training for my first century. I love carb loading!

But you should check it out with your doctor, just to be sure.

Here's my favorite healthy filler: baked sweet potato (use the nuker for faster cooking), squashed with honey or real grade A maple syrup, raisins and a handful of pecans.

Another pecan snack - mix a handful in with 4 oz plain yogurt, banana, lemon juice, peaches, apples, whatever.

Whole wheat pasta with white beans sauce - to make white bean sauce, take a can of white beans, rinse, heat in saucepan over low heat, mash with about 1/2 cup of milk and a little butter, add parmesan cheese. Yum!

Quinoa. Yum. And olive oil. And avacados.
