About the sense of smell, I have now what I call "my super smeller". I dont know what happened along the way, but my sense of smell has dramatically increased even when Im having sinus issues.
For hi calorie foods, I recently found out my daily milkshakes were about 2700-3000 calories each. I was drinking 1 or 2 per day and still not gaining weight, Im now much more careful.
3 or 4 cups chocolate ice cream (its now only 2 cups)
1 cup peanut butter (I have since switched to 2 tblspns)
1 cup milk
about 3 or 4 tsp sugar (now omitted)
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
Blend it up, that will help put some weight on. You can also make it healthier by adding some carnation powder and using lowfat things.
