    Full fat dairy, oil on or on pretty much everything, nut butters, as has been said above. Take it slowly (I had the same issues as you to start with and still can't eat large volumes of food) Drink your calories if you don't feel like eating. Eat smaller more frequent meals.

    I feel the same way, as I just upped my cals, fats, carbs, proteins. All I did is add 1 extra meal and a some coconut oil to get them up. It doesn't seem so bad right now.

    Peanut butter on apples, add dry milk to whole milk and do a protein shake. I use muscl blast, with the milk mixture its right at 1000 calories for 2 cups.

    Nuts and dried food are your best friends for low volume high calories.

    Thank you guys for all of the advice and encouragement! I have found that as I stuck to it it has definitely gotten easier. I found the more I eat (even when I don't want to) the more my appetite has reved up! The last few days I haven't had very many problems eating my 1980 calories (in fact, 2 days in a row I went over!!) and I didn't feel nearly as full when it was time for the next meal. I really do appreciate all of the advice you guys are willing to give!

    Go for lots of natural oils, nut butters, heavy milk/cream. Look at what you can add to your existing diet to increase caloric density without much added volume. Throw some chocolate chips into your pancakes, try em with peanut butter on top and fry in butter. Ice cream not quite doing it? Mix in a few spoons of peanut butter. Have cheese on that burger. Make fresh guac and cheesy nachos. Don't be afraid to drink your calories. A late night milkshake w peanut butter can easily sneak in a bunch of Cal's. Best of luck

    Thanks @BJSwail. Peanut butter on my pancakes is one of my favorite things ever since I was a kid! I've really been trying to bulk up the foods I'm already eating instead of snacking so much in between meals. Adding shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream to my chili, adding nuts and cheese to my salad, adding sour cream and guac to my tacos and come on, what is a burger without cheese? lol I found just adding shredded cheese and sour cream to a bowl of chili adds almost 200 calories!! I'm slowly but surely learning the tricks and I appreciate how willing everyone on this board is to help.

    I do the same with less peanut butter. Maintaining instead of bulking right now. Still really fricken good. The nice part its 60+grams of protein. Makes it easier to hit my high protein goal.

    For more of a dessert take out the coffee and throw in a banana or 2. Yum!
