hi everyone!
I’m currently trying to gain weight and would love to know if any of you have any healthy calorie filled food recipes/ideas etc...
Could be quick and easy or a slow process!
Also please feel free to provide photos!
:)

    A good smoothie with frozen bananas, milk of choice, nut butter of choice, and some protein concentrate or powder is pretty calorie dense, while being quite healthy (at least in my opinion).

    The more fat, the more calorie dense you’re going to get. So peanut butter is great.

    Dinner idea: marinated boneless chicken thighs served with broccoli and homemade Alfredo sauce over rice or pasta, with plenty of Parmesan cheese on top.

    You might find some ideas here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10142490/a-list-of-calorie-dense-foods/p1

    Pages 1-3 are sort of general thoughts, pages 4-5 are recipes, pages 5-7 are pictures of Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson posing in front of food, and pages 7+ are more recipes and links to meal plans where I can find them.
