Tips:

Eat several small snacks throughout the day, rather than 3 large meals.

Eat your largest meal when you are hungriest, no matter the time of day.

Eat every few hours, don’t wait until you feel hungry.

Try to eat high-calorie, high-protein foods at each meal and snack.

Drink most of your fluids between meals instead of with meals; drinking fluid with meals can make you feel too full.

Eat cheese on toast or with crackers.

Add cheese on vegetables and pasta.

Hard boil eggs and keep in the refrigerator to add to salads, soups, vegetables or to make a quick egg salad.

Melt butter over potatoes, rice, pasta and cooked vegetables.

Stir melted butter into soups and casseroles and spread on bread before adding other ingredients to your sandwich.

Use ice cream as a topping on cake.

Mix peanut butter into smoothies, oatmeal, or use as a dip.
