Underweight & looking for calories.

[Guest guest]

I'm wondering if it's too soon for me to be eating nuts. Can I snack

on them whole or does it have to be in flour form. I'm looking for

high calorie foods that are SCD legal. I'm about 10 lbs underweight

and always run off my feet. I'm afraid if I don't put some weight on

and start feeling better, I'm going to end up in the hospital.

Yes, it's too soon to be eating whole nuts just three weeks into

the diet.

Why don't you try making the peanut butter brownies, cashew

muffins or the apple cake recipe I posted about a week ago. All

of those are very tasty and very calorie dense. You can freeze

them and just take them out in the morning and eat them during

the day. I figured the calories on the cashew muffins and they

were about 100-150 calories each (I'll have to check for the exact

number).

Also, avocados have about 300 calories each. Very nutritious

and calorie dense. If you don't like them plain, try making the

avocado chicken salad, avocado meatloaf or guacamole.

Thank You Jody,

I'll give those recipees a try. Sorry to be so dense right now.

With everything in transition right now and learning so many new

things it's a little tricky keeping everything straight.

Gratefully,

PS You asked about what supplements I was giving my son. I haven't

forgotten, I just haven't had the chance. I'll try to forward the

list tonight.
