Im almost at my target weight, have been doing alot of resistance training to do so. But i am now starting to shrink in the boob department and lose weight in areas id rather not. So decided to start maintaining my weight but i struggle to eat as much as i do as it is, what are some higher calorie foods i could add to my diet that arent too filling?

    Coconut oil stirred in to green tea
    Olive oil or flaxseed oil drizzled on salad
    Brazil nuts, got to love their selenium content!
    Pumpkin seeds to snack on are lovely

    Also full-fat dairy.

    Just move to full fat versions - add oils, butters and creams to cooking and salads

    eat more ice cream and chocolate and chips

    seriously I never really get these posts - we all know what foods are higher calories it's just a matter of adjusting up a couple of hundred

    Enjoy having cheese occasionally again!

    I couldn't have any cheese when losing - there's no place for it on 1,200 a day. Now I occasionally get to have a little bit. Pasta in homemade cheese sauce with chicken breast fillet with a tomato sauce is NOM!

    Not as healthy as the suggestions above but does have dairy/calcium and is no worse than sweets.

    Cheese is very healthy - full of calcium, particularly important for women

    Yep, this is similar to me.
    If i continued losing weight i'd be skin and bones on my upper body.
    I don't find it a problem eating more food at all though! :) but maybe eat more Nuts.
    A couple of handfuls of any sort of Nuts are worth 100's of Calories!
