Foods that add calories while still keep clean diet

[Dmsmith]

I was just curious to what foods i could eat to add calories while still eating clean and healthy. I have always ate pretty healthy without ever realizing it and now that i count calories i find it hard to eat 3000 plus calories without having my meal size in portion that are hard to get down.

Are you on cycle or off cycle?

Whats your TDEE?

Eat the same healthy stuff your eating, just eat more, add a couple snacks between the meals.

Chicken, fish, steak, oatmeal, smoothies, rice, etc.

Starting a bulking cycle…
i eat about 2700 to maintain and that doesnt seem like a lot of calories but anyone that eats clean knows thats a lot of food or atleast its a lot of food for me… i naturally walked aroud at about 148 so im not a big big guy…

If raising Cal’s I stick with steaks. High protien with some fats. I respond really well to that.

I also sometimes find it hard to cram enough food ito hit my numbers but can somehow always find room for a drink so I started using mass gainer shakes. Given that most (not all) of these are not actually giving you the nutrients that they claim to, I started making my own. Get yourself a blender / smoothie maker, throw in some oats, a banana, eggs (or just egg whites), some peanut butter (adjust the amounts of each to suit your macros) and you have a shake that hits the required numbers for protein, carbs, fat and calories. Works for me and is a dam sight cheaper than protein/ gainer powders and your using real food.

Beef is great just need to take something to help for digestion atleast I do but fats and protein you can’t beat it

Beef is always a good option. Also penutbutter packs alot calories in a small portion size, if I feel I’m low on calories that day I’ll blend up a shake with a tblspn or 2 of all natural penutbutter. I think 1 tablespoon is in the range of 200 cals.

I do the same thing. Protein shake with egg whites and peanut butter in the right amounts should push those extra calories easy.

I eat super clean- I wash all my food and BOTH my hands before eating!

Meat and all colored vegetables to ne honest it will raise your fats and keep carbs low and protein really high
