Is there a way to filter by calorie density in MFP?

I would like to find food according to calorie density, ie cal/g.
This is because I need to eat 300 cal in a few bites for a specific medication, as this medication I take at night makes me nauseous
Thanks

While you can't filter by calorie density, we can help you figure this out. You'll achieve this most efficiently through high fat foods, as fat has 9 cal/g as opposed to carb and protein's 4 cal/g. High water foods like fruits and vegetables will have less cal/g due to the water.
Peanut butter or nuts might be a good choice for you. Cheese is less efficient.
I love peanut butter and cheese (and apple) and eat this a lot:
Lose the apple to make it less bites.0
