I am sick of avocado and I cannot drink olive oil. I am full as crap all the time it seems and even snack when if I get hungry but I am still not reaching high enough calories. PLZ post any high calorie food options that you use that are very small to consume preferably from healthiest to not first choices. Thanks in advance.

    Nut butters are a great one! I'm in LOVE with almond butter and I drizzle a little pure honey with it and have it on whole grain toast. :)

    Try Peanut Butter...2 TB is like 210 calories and plenty of protein. But I would try to get the reduced fat version. Great on apples :)

    Big spoon full of peanut/almond/nut butter. 200+ calories. Add celery or apple slices to make it less bachelor-esque (I just eat it from the jar....)

    Handful of nuts. 150-250 depending on hand size and nut type.

    Larabar or other natural ingredient protein/meal replacers. 200+ calories

    Protein shakes or Ensure (which I can't stand, but I like the Atkins shakes since they're low-sugar).

    A cookie?

    Also, who do you know that drinks olive oil? Gross! lol.

    I'm just curious.... do you have a health problem that keeps you from drinking olive oil?

    Custard, I always give my kids custard on top of their ice cream when they need extra. Are you worried about sugar? Flavoured milks can be great for adding calories. Seriously chocolate milk is supposed to be great. If I am out and not eating enough, I go a iced coffee milk. Really refreshing.

    no health issues to worry about sugar but prefer to consume real sugar I do not partake in fake sugars

    Make a smoothie with blueberries, spinach, a tablespoon of flax seeds (50 cals) a banana (100 cals), peanut butter (200 cals) OR almonds (150 cals) and a generous scoop of full fat greek yogurt. Use whole milk for the liquid. Pour into a big glass and sip through a straw so you don't get full too quickly. It's high calorie, and very nutrient dense! Mine equals about 420 calories. You could also sneak in the olive oil or avocado. The other ingredients will help mask the flavors or at least make them easier to consume.

    Good luck!

    Ice cream and peanut butter smoothie ;)


    My new favourite snack is a scoop of vanilla whey mixed into greek yoghurt. I use total 0% (because the regular doesnt come in handy one serving sizes to take to work) but you could bump up the cals using the regular full fat stuff.

    BEEF... LOTS OF BEEF. Contains a good amount of calories and protein if you go with 85% lean ground beef.

    I would say try to drink your calories in a healthy way. Smoothies with full fat milk and yogurt. Full fat versions of everything. Also if you are trying to add a ton of calories right away you may need to slow down try upping by 100 for a week, then another 100 and so on til you are at your calorie goal. If I've learned anything from using MFP it's that slow and steady adjustments are the easiest to achieve and maintain.
