A: You could add some more coconut milk if you do well with it in your smoothies or meals. Here are some more tips:
Get a calorie counting app like MyFitnessPal on your phone, to help you keep track of your daily calorie intake. Eating real food can be more filling than eating simple carbohydrates, and you may not be getting enough calories in at this time. Use the app to figure out your target weight, and the number of calories per day that you’ll need to get there.
Add coconut oil to your beverages - this can add extra calories to your day.
Avoid caffeine if you are still having caffeine, as caffeine can make you less hungry.
You may want to consider the Root Cause Building Smoothie at the end of the day, after you’ve eaten all your meals and snacks for the day.
Root Cause Build Smoothie
1-2 avocado (300 calories)
1 cup coconut milk (150 calories)
1 banana (100 calories)
2 egg yolks (100 calories, if tolerated)
1 cup cooked sweet potatoes (optional)
Rootcology protein powder of your choice
You could make sure that you’re eating enough calories daily. Then if you don’t get your target amount of calories, it is recommended sipping on this smoothie in the evening. This way, you can get a whole bunch of nutrients into that smoothie and have it at the end of the day, like a dessert. Let’s say that you ate all of your food for the day, and then looking at the calorie tracker you find out that you haven't had enough to reach your daily calorie goals, you can have this nice big dessert where you can get a good 600 to 700 extra calories.
