I know 2500 calories every single day sounds like soooo much when you arent eating normally!!! Go for hi calorie everything and have dessert too. Ive been down this road and know how difficult it can be. I wish I had listened better to those who told me to push my intake. I ended up hospitalized for malnutrition and dehydration a few times. I felt so bad I actually thought I was in the beginning stages of dying. PLEASE, do better than I did and push yourself immediately to boost your daily calories so you dont go thru what I did. Now Im the forums intake nag where I bug everybody who needs a nudge or two.



Easy to Eat Food List

(All measurements are estimates)

Giant High Calorie Choc-Peanut Butter Milkshake (1200++ calories per shake depending on how big you measure the ingredients)

3 or 4 cups chocolate ice cream (regular/full fat type)
2 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth type)
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 or 2 cups whole milk (can substitute half and half to add even more calories)
1 scoop carnation instant breakfast
1 scoop high protein whey powder (check with doc if this is ok)

Blend this extra long to make it very smooth and creamy so it goes down easier. If the shake is too thick, add more milk (or half and half) to thin it down to what works best for you.


The above list of easy to eat foods and the calorie loaded chocolate milkshake will help you get to meet that daily minimum of 2500 calories. You can always pick up boost or ensure to drink too. Best wishes with continuing to push yourself with eating every single day.
