    Avocados, keeping some eggs whole instead of all white, peanut butter, almond butter, get the extra calories from good fat. Cooking with extra virgin oil.

    My boyfriend's 700-calorie breakfast: oatmeal made with cocoa, almond milk, maple syrup, almond butter, protein powder, unsweetened coconut, frozen berries, a banana, and crushed walnuts. :)

    He also does calorie 'snack packs' - beef jerky, walnuts, brazil nuts, almonds, dates, prunes, figs, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried currants, dried blueberries. Easily 600-700 calories in a small bowl.

    10% greek yogurt will get you there fast too.

    Brilliant! I didn't even think to make my breakfast a huge meal. Thank you!
