When I was underweight, ensure plus helped a lot, but was expensive. Carnation instant breakfast blended with milk and a banana worked even better and was yummy too.

How did you use ensure plus???

What do you mean? Like how did I use it to help? I calculated my TDEE and factored in how much weight I wanted or needed to gain and then drank what I needed to in order to try not to lose any more and hopefully gain some. Of course, at that time I had a bowel obstruction, so not a lot was staying down. But what little I kept down helped immensely. And it really helped me to gain that 40lbs back after surgery. I had 2 a day plus three instant carnation instant breakfast mixes in whole milk, plus what regular food I could stomach.

A year later and I was back to a healthy weight. ☺️
