Best way to gain weight is with FAT. When you are older,
high carb just stimulates insulin which clears it quickly and then you get low blood sugar. The fat in donuts however, is often a bad fat. You could do good fats in salads, Mayo (Smart Balance Mayo is omega-3), nuts, peanut butter. I like peanut butter on toast -- Smart Balance makes a good one now with Flax in it. Nuts are really good for you and if eaten generously provide calories.

I always have eggs or some kind of meat (left overs) for breakfast. (my hubby can't stand my breakfast choices! LOL)
I've been known to do Chinese too, or Pizza!
I typically eat a good breakfast, a lighter lunch and a light supper. I can't eat alot after 5pm, anymore. Too old!

Jo--- I love that mountain picture! All your pics are cool. I don't see visitor messages activated on your profile? So I am leaving this here!

The doughnut are history now...won't do that again. I Do eat Organic Peanut butter Everyday! I love it. I go thru a jar every 2 weeks. Also eat lots of banana's, eggs, & other nuts...Maybe I should try Avocodo? I heard they were loaded with good fats?

Ya know, gardengrl, if someone put the 2 of us together and shook us up, we'd both be just right!!! You'd be heavier, I'd be lighter: Win-Win!!!
