About 3 days ago I started trying something new, in addition to what I am already doing. 2-4 CVS Liquid Nutritional Supplements will always be a staple to my weight gain journey. But lately I have also added eating 1-2 Clif Builder's Protein Bars (in chocolate) to the mix. Supplements almost never taste good, and this one actually does. This was specifically made for body builders and I am clearly not that. I mainly paid attention to the amount of calories it has to offer and the nutritional value. These chocolate bars have 270 calories, 20 g of protein, 70 fat calories, no trans fat, 23 vitamins and minerals. I found this to be a perfect addition because I always have a major sweet tooth. There are days I wake up immediately craving either cotton candy or an almond Hershey bar. Not healthy at all. Other days I wake up with no appetite at first so I just need something quick to get down. These bars are perfect for both occasions. This is my very first nutritional supplement that I have ever tasted that I actually enjoy eating. So I typically have one in the morning before my breakfast or if I have no appetite for breakfast I will just eat that alone until lunch. I will also sometimes have it as part of my desert as well.
Below will be a random food journal from yesterday so you can see how I incorporate the supplements I take into my diet. But do know what I eat changes everyday so yesterday isn't necessarily typical because every day is fairly different for me.
Breakfast:
Clif Builder's Protein Bar (I wasn't hungry so this is all I ate, when I am hungry I will eat it in addition to cereal or whatever I eat for breakfast) - 270
2 Caprisun Wild Cherry - 60 * 2
Total: 390 Calories (great considering I did not have a real breakfast)
Lunch:
Wendy 1/4lb cheeseburger - 552
small Dr pepper - 140
** I also bought a baked potato but I did not eat it :/
Total: 692
Dinner:
2 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches - 300 * 2
2 Caprisun Wild Cherry - 60 * 2
Total: 720
Desert/ Late Night Snack:
** I had been eating icecream all week but I ran out
Clif Builder's Protien Bar - 270
2 CVS Liquid Nutrional Supplements PLUS - 350 * 2
Water - 0
Total: 970 (yes 970 calories just from supplements!!!!)
Grand Total from the entire day: 2772 Calories (when I am trying to gain and/or maintain over 140 lbs I have to get in at least 2000-2500 calories a day.
More info on Clif Builder's Protein Bars: (no I am not sponsored, I found and bought them myself at Target for about $4 for a pack of 6 bars)
