Extra calories
Trying to eat more to shift toward weight maintenance has been interesting and surprisingly difficult. I did actually gain weight over the last fortnight but that included Thanksgiving and I don't believe that on normal days I am yet eating enough to maintain; I think the small gain is well within the error bars.
Weihnachtsstollen and koláče will make it easy to eat more calories over this festive period but into the New Year I have wondered what different choices to make. I don't want to switch from, say, poppadoms to oatcakes just for the higher calories: I want the different food to feel correspondingly worth those calories and to fit in with my other nutritional aims. My inclination at present is for us to buy more cheese and nuts, especially macadamia or cashews, for me to snack on.
