I need ideas for really healthy calorie-dense foods that are non dairy, not avocado and no splenda, egg beaters or other unnatural foods.

THANKS!!!

    Nuts of any kind, Hummus? Maybe you would think that is unnatural. It's chickpeas. Peanut butter.

    Coconut--fresh coconut!

    I bought one today for a change-up and was then shocked by two things:

    1) how little calories the coconut water has: 1/2 cup only has 23 calories with no fat

    2) how many calories the coconut meat has! 40 grams (approx. 1.5 ounces) has 142 calories! YIKES!

    thanks folks. I was left with a huge number of calories left over today and needed really calorie-dense ideas (foods with LOTS of calories) to try to get some of them in. Sadly I'm left with over 500 calories for the day and it's 10pm so not a good time to be eating. Ugh... will this be a huge issue?? I blame my fabulous big breakfast! lol
