So...my New Year's Resolution was to gain these last 10 pounds to get to a healthy weight. For the past 2 weeks I have significantly increased my food intake...significantly! For instance, here has been an average day:
Breakfast: Oatmeal (with 2% milk), 2 eggs, Raisin Bran cereal with 2% milk (8oz)
Snack: 2% Greek yogurt, String Cheese
Lunch: Ham and Cheese sandwich with 1/4 lb ham (20 oz protein), 2 pieces WW bread with mayo, banana, baked potato with sc, and greek yogurt
Snack: Quest Bar, String Cheese
Dinner: 4oz lean meat, vegetable, bread with butter, Greek yogurt
Snack: Quest Bar, Cottage Cheese
Here is the kicker: I weighed at the nutritionist yesterday and my weight has not changed ONE OUNCE...literally...not ONE OUNCE!
Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do differently?

I think the idea of adding some healthy carbs and healthy fats is a good idea...I just don't know where to start. I have already added so many of my fear foods back into my meal plan and an scared to add some of the foods that might work better. I think I am going to take a leap of faith and add a slice of WW bread with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to my dinner and then add some train mix to one of my snacks. This should add several hundred more calories. Any ideas of other healthy carbs or fats would be appreciated.
