When you are working out a high intensity one of the biggest mistakes made in weight loss is to UNDEReat. I am often asked what some foods are that can increase calories without increasing carbs or falling to habits of processed foods and garbage to get the calories in. Sure you can get in 2200 calories when you eat pizza all day, but that’s not going to help!
