Sometimes I eat a bowl of roasted chickpeas and its pretty good. I've been noticing that a lot of my protein options like tofu and seitan aren't super high in calories. I'm trying to gain weight rn and it has been difficult as I have a very high metabolism and a small stomach. I eat beans and nuts because they fill that niche somewhat but I was curious if y'all had and recipes or advice. Thanks :D

its not high calorie but for high protein I drink pea protein powder from Anthony's goods. it has 8g per tablespoon. for maintenance I have 1 80g shakeper day and for building I have 2.

its not filling so I have room for more calorie dense foods and don't need to think about protein content in the food I eat.

Yep. After having food poisoning that caused a year of illness and alarming weight loss, my go-to for protein was a pea-protein shake with a big dollop* of peanut butter blended in, for calories and extra protein.
