    Cold pizza is the best possible breakfast food.

    I struggle with getting high kcal every day. If I add a tablespoon of olive oil, I usually go into red in the fat section. If I eat 1 banana and 4 dates it shows up red in the sugar section. Nuts will show red in the protein section, so to get as close as possible to 2000 kcal I consume a lot of carb like potatoes, brown/wholemeal bread and oats. Avocado is good, so thanks for the reminder.

    ice cream is a fun way to gain weight although not the most nutritious way.

    When you're eating 3500+ calories a day of fruits, veggies, and lean meats, the last thing you need from the extra 500 or so calories is more micronutrients.

    You don't get extra credit.

    I heard dumping olive oil all over your pizza is the way to go, if you can stomach it.

    Hey, was wondering what foods you guys eat to get a hight calorie intake?

    My top five :
    1.Oats(gluten free)
    2. Peanut butter
    3. Rice
    4. Spaghetti (gluten free)
    5. Fruits. (Banana primarily)

    I agree with all of those above. Peanut butter for sure, because of the fat calories. Rice, oats, and fruits don't really add up that quickly in my opinion. Spaghetti can be heavy depending on the portion.

    Or you can go with the IIFYM crowd or the "anti-clean eating" hippies and just eat like 6 donuts and drink 4 protein shakes. You're done for the day.
    This is IIFYM. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/817188-iifym and it has nothing to do with hippies. :huh:
    Once you meet you protein, fat/ fiber/micronutrient goals for the day, THEN you MAY have discretionary calories left to do as you choose. It is not eating donuts ALL day. One or two, sure. :drinker:

    And back to the OP's question.
    1. Ice cream
    2. Peanut Butter
    3. Bacon
    4. Pasta.
    5. Chocolate


    I didn't realize my 'dieting' methods had a name! Now I know IIFYM is what I've been doing. Thanks for the enlightening post, I'd never heard of this phrase before now.

    It's easy to miss a few of them even with 3500 calories. Zinc, pantothenic acid, selenium, niacin, iodine, folate and vitamin e to name a few.

    Sounds like a digestion issue waiting to happen.

    ^^this.

    It really depends on your macro target, but (and most these have been mentioned):

    - ice cream
    - full fat dairy
    - nuts and seeds
    - nut and seed butters
    - pasta
    - bacon
    - avocado
    - cheesecake
    - use oils and butters in cooking and dressings




    - oh, and not to disappoint the 'IIFYM'ers eat poptarts all day" peeps...poptarts.

    You want to eat either:

    a) my Mum's beef stew and dumplings

    b) my Mum's steak and kidney pudding.

    If you want my tip: go for (b) - all that delicious steamed suet. mmm suet. What was the question again?

    I'm not a huge peanut butter fan. I used to make a mixture with different roasted nuts (cashew, almonds, pistachio, walnuts) and put it in a jar and put just enough honey to glue the nuts together (teehee). It was amazingly delicious, nutritious and was 90 calories per tbsp.

    I like cheese too for a quick high cal dosage. I don't use protein powder anymore but 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder, vanilla ice cream scoop with full cream milk was awesome after a workout.
