Potatoes and other starchy foods, I mean. If I make them into oven fries, I can easily eat 3 potatoes' worth and seriously not be full.
And not to pick a fight - LOL - but compared to non-starchy vegetables, pasta, rice, and potatoes are NOT low-calorie, especially when you consider serving sizes vs. REAL PEOPLE serving sizes. A serving of pasta is 1 cup cooked, and contains about 210 calories... how many people do you know who seriously measure out a cup of pasta? I know that I can easily eat about 3 cups of cooked spiral pasta, and that's a lot of calories - which is why I don't eat pasta anymore.
But you're right - the basic equation for weight gain is to consume more calories than you burn, regardless of what foods you're eating to do so. Calorie-laden drinks as a substitute for water are a good way to supplement that. Smoothies are EXCELLENT here.
