Best food to up Calories

[Jordan210]

Iv been trying to lose weight and nothing has really been working.

so booked in with a PT and he told me I need to up my calories are I'm not eating enough.

im currently 16.8 stone 6 foot 2.

My current calorie intake is around 1800 a day. Iv been told to up this to 2600 and pay attention to micronutrients and that should put me on around 2lb a week drop.

What type of food should I be eating.

As I'm struggling to find the extra calories.

Normally I eat:

a protein shake and banana for Breakfast.

Porridge, hummus, soup for lunch

maybe a protein bar

then dinner normally around 600 calories

any help would be great. Thanks

Quick update.

I have been eating more and have changed my training to more weights and HIIT.

I have acutely lost 1.5kg So hopefully this keeps up. Hopefully I get get it to 1.5kg a week.

I have decided I really don't like peanut butter
