"I have also lost a lot of weight in the past two years, and I am kind of skinny right now so I was looking for a high-calorie snack too."
IMO, the whole stuff about calories adding weight isn't true. People like to blame calories and go on starvation diets, but really it's the fat in all the meat and dairy they eat that adds the weight (but they don't want to cut that stuff out so they blame the calories, and plenty of "experts" play into it).
Personally I wouldn't worry about being lean, if you're eating enough and feel strong and healthy and everything. I'd just slam in a ton of calories, and then if you're skinny, that's probably just how they designed you lol.
Too bad the cookies didn't work out but I'm sure if you google around you'll find a great recipe.
Usually when I make stuff like that I use vegan butter in place of dairy butter and stuff like that, and veganize it that way, rather than totally overhauling it with different ingredients. Not the healthiest way to do it, but still vegan.
Hey, I do not believe in tracking calories either but I think right now I am not eating as much as I should. I also feel down sometimes, and I do not like what I see in the mirror these days as I look exhausted and sick sometimes. I really think I need to put on some weight.
I used peanut butter in the cookie. I have been thinking about making my own peanut butter since forever. Hopefully, I will do it the next week. Thanks for your feedback! :)
Ya for sure, definitely eat a ton of calories IMO!! There's a site cronometer.com where you can input everything you eat and it tells you your amount of calories and all nutrients
Peanut butter is great I think, and try to eat way too many calories, like at least 3000 if you're male, probably just as many as you're comfortable with .. you'll be buzzing with energy in no time lol
thanks for recommending that website! And I am a girl lol, but definitely need tonns of calories.
yaaaa tons of calories either way! :p
