The operative word is JUNK food. There are plenty of ways to add calories to the diet without resorting to junk. (Don't let my screenname fool you!)
Here's part of what my high cal /easy on the fats diet contains:
<UL>Canola oil and olive oil in baking and cooking
banana bread with real butter on each slice.
Lean turkey instead of ground beef (I can't even stand the taste of anything else now!)
Baked potatoes
Lots of white meat chicken prepared with ShakeNBake or other coating
Low fat cheese on veggies
Low fat cottage cheese combined w/pineapples or applesauce
Yogurt
PRETZELS! (no fat at all, and extremely easy for me to digest)
Eggs
Avocados (good fats, vitamin and calories)
Tortillas
Waffles and Pancakes
Salads with cheese, hard boiled eggs, croutons and cucumbers
Lactose free milk or whole milk</UL>
I was raised in the era where CFers were told we couldn't have fat at all. So naturally, my preferences tend to lean (pun intended) toward the healthier options. We grill a lot of our food and I've noticed that my tummy indeed prefers home cooked meals to take out. This was true for me while growing up and it remains so now that I'm married and taking care of meal prep for my family.
(in case you're wondering battered refers to my preferred method of airway clearance, and fried means I tend to run on all cylinders.)
