Carbs and calories

[lucy123]

Since going on victoza I don't have much appetite a lot of the time. I am finding if I keep my total daily carbs around 30g my bs are good. However I am struggling to eat enough calories and probably need to intake another 500 calories per day to meet 1200.
Any ideas how I can increase calories but not carbs healthily even though little appetite. Obviously has to have a low sugar content too. I hope this makes sense.

protein 60-100g and you would need a lot more dietary fats. This is the hardest part, to overcome the last 50 years of fat phobia.

a long page and a few good video’s

I find nuts, seeds, avocado and very dark good quality chocolate help fill the gap. Depending on your appetite, adding butter or a drizzle of olive oil on meals will up the calories, but no good if the extra fat makes you feel too full to want to eat again for ages.
