advice on gaining weight & high-cal foods to add

[Guest guest]

Hello SCDers, I am so grateful for all of your responses and advice,

it is so helpful that you all are so devoted to doing this right and

helping each other with your past experiences on this diet. It makes

me really feel like I'm not doing this alone.

Anyways, on with my question: I lost weight way too fast this flare-up

(which happened the last couple serious flare-ups too) and I would

really like to gain it back as soon as possible, but I'm having

trouble getting high-cal foods in me. I feel like I eat all the time,

but I added up the cals for a day and it was only like 1170, which is

not enough to gain weight on. I've been eating a lot of cheese,

spaghetti squash, eggs, baked chicken w/ homemade bbq sauce, fresh

carrot spinach juice and I want to try the avocado banana smoothie

today (though honestly it sounds gross to me, particularly because I

don't like avocado). I am also testing homemade almond butter, which

I seem to be tolerating in moderation. Do you have any ideas for more

high-cal foods that are also high in nutrients?
