Calorie Supplements in Everyday Recipes

Some unusual ways to create calorie supplements and protein to your everyday meals: Add powdered milk (2 to 4 tablespoons) to a cup of milk, or mix powdered milk into puddings, soup, vegetables, pancake batter, milkshakes and potatoes. Powdered milk contains 33 calories per tablespoon and 3 grams of protein per tablespoon. You can also add eggs or egg substitute to recipes like meat loaf, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, chicken salads and casseroles. You can also add extra eggs to pancake batter and French toast. Eggs have 80 calories each and 7 grams of protein. There are always innovative ways to add calories to help in gaining weight.
