Anne, you can search recipes here and shakes and the Carnation Instant Breakfast that has over 500 cal. per 8 ozs.The vita-mix will help you tremendously. Keep a very accurate weight chart and record calories and liquids every meal or snack. I also kept a fairly good record of vitamins and minerals in the foods John was eating on a daily basis until he went totally peg. Put your dietitian hat on and go for it. Best wishes, Amy
