    Just had oral surgery and was worried about hitting 1200 as I was limited to soup. My solution was a peanut butter, banana and milk smoothie. Thick, cold and satisfying. Also a good number of calories if you do two full tablespoons of peanut butter.

    I have similar issues myself (my meals usually end around 1,000 calories). I find cereal is a good go to, such as Cheerios. It also solves that craving for popping snacks in my mouth late at night

    Popcorn. But I love that so much that I try to budget for it. If I'm craving sweet...I treat myself to chocolate. If I'm not craving anything...peanut butter.

    Whole milk is an easy way to add calories at the end of the day. Sometimes I use it in a protein shake and sometimes just by itself.

    almonds
    avocado
    sliced deli meat
    cottage cheese
    string cheese
    cheddar cheese
    fresh mozzarella
    (OK, any cheese :)

    I'm usually low on fat, so that's why my list looks like it does :)

    If by some strange twist of fate I had any carbs leftover at the end of the day, I'd add either popcorn or fruit.

    If I've met all my macros for the day to my satisfaction, then I will fill calories with an adult beverage or two. If not, in'll try to have something that fills the macros I need for a nighttime snack, like a homemade milkshake with some protein powder.
