I'm not fond of nuts I've just switched to TDEE-20% and I'm now looking at 1850 calories a day (which is roughly 200 more than I've been eating) and clueless about how to meet the goal without just eating junk every day to get there!
My diary is open.

i eat a lot of nuts, but avocados, oils, bananas, nut butters, oatmeal, fattier meats (unprocessed), cheese/dairy if you can do that.
you can also use the nuts in different ways, like throwing them in a salad or sauteeing them up with chicken and veggies for an asian-style stir fry. get creative!0 -
Lox or smoked salmon! Shame it is so expensive...0
-
Seeds, oils (coconut, olive, sesame), butter, avocado, coconut milk, cheese, fatty cuts of meat, full fat dairy, chocolate.0
-
Cheese. Olive oil.
You can prepare a salad with tomato and green vegeteble (I like spinach). Add olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Mozzarella cheese, or feta cheese crumbs as topping.

They do; have seen it at Whole Foods.0 -
Clif bars are high calorie, but they're also healthy. They also taste amazing.0
-
Cheese. Avocado. Olive oil. 200 cals is 2 servings of fat. Shouldn't be too difficult.0
-
seeds
avocados/guacamole
olive oil on a salad or to cook with
sunflower butter
dried fruit w/o too much added sugar
smoothies can pack in the calories, with a protein powder added
make your own granola
cheese! on eveything
quinoa has a decent amount of calories per serving and is great in different dishes0 -
Whole milk, great source of protein too0
-
Oily fish. Mackerel seems to be the cheapest fresh oily fish, but it maybe depends where you are. Sardines, herring, salmon, etc. The oil makes it high calorie but it's supposed to be very good for you.0
-
Avocados, Greek yogurt, Sunbutter (same Idea as peanut butter, but made with sunflower seeds), full fat salad dressings, full fat cheese, any of the Ezeikiel line of whole grain breads, whole eggs, protein powder......the list goes on.0
-
Avocado!
Yes!0 -
Full fat cottage cheese with fruit - great source of protein0
-
Rib Eye, Salmon with skin, Avocados, Google "fat bombs", those are usually good for 150 and taste great!0
-
CLEAN nut butters
(aka, the only ingredient is the nut, blended to a pulp)
(PS you can make your own nut butters, super cinchy and you control what goes in!)
avocado
cottage cheese (I put fruit or a little bit of raw honey in mine...and I use fiber 1. Tastes best in my opinion)0 -
They do make hazelnut butter. You can buy online, although I would look at local stores first.

all of these things have already been said, but i'm repeatin' 'em anyway, cuz they're good, solid ideas!
OLIVE OIL! roast veggies in olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, saute cooked veggies in olive oil, or add olive oil to vinegar on a salad.
AVOCADO! add avocado to salads & sammiches (or just eat plain )
YOGURT! change to full fat yogurt if you're eating lowfat or fat-free
CHEESE! eat moar cheese! it's yummy!0 -

They do and its delish but its a bit disappointing alot add salt and oil into it
Other than that i use almond nut butter for a calorie bulker0 -
Ok the thing with all this is that it's high in fat. I don't want to get over my fat macro because I have a history of reflux.0

Dried fruit is very low in fat and you would be amazed at how it adds up if you're sitting there snacking on it. Even the no sugar added varieties.
I love the organic Turkish apricots, Blenheim apricots, and white peaches (all dried) at Trader Joe's.
Also, pasta.0
