Besides egg, milk, peanut butter, olive oil, avocados and bananas which other clean calorie dense and nutrient dense foods are there? I don't want to fuel up on junk because I think it's counter productive. #NeedToIncreaseMyCalories 
thanks guys

Any other variation of nuts particularly almonds, walnuts and pistachios.

What are your goals? How much weight do you wish to gain? I think there are plenty of calorie dense foods you can use in daily consumption. You can add fish, scallops, shrimp, bacon(yes protein and fat and it tastes damn good), beans and rice, vegetables of any color. For me personally, if I want to widen my caloric window, I exercise a little more and use less nutrient dense foods(20% or close) as well as nutrient dense foods(about 80% or close to it). Make sense?0

Meat! #allabouttheprotein0

Anything high in fat like chia and flax or dense carbs like whole grains. What is your definition of "clean" btw?0

Good fatty red meats, for example: lamb shank, full-fat beef mince (or whatever they call it in your country), rib-eye steak.
You'll find some higher fat meats like mutton, pork shoulder, and braise steak are great slow cookers that produce fantastically tasty dishes and are melt-in-the-mouth with the addition of a few herbs/stock/spices.
Plenty of butter. Lots of butter.0 -
what do you define as "junk"
why do you feel it is counter productive to fuel up on said "junk"..?
I just finished a bulk where I put on ten pounds and part of my diet consisted of ice cream, cookies, bagels ,pasta, etc…however, I did make sure to hit my calorie/micro/macro goal and had no adverse side affects..
in a bulk calories are king, and food type is a minor side concern ..in my opinion...0 -

kind of confused by bolded part, why would you exercise more in a bulk to be able to get more calories? That sounds like a cutting strategy ….0 -

Butter a steak and that's win-win!0 -
Cream? Is cheese allowed on clean food diet?
Lots of nuts: almonds, pecans, walnuts etc
You can add ground almonds to curry sauces and smoothies very easily.
banana, cream and almond smoothie would be very calorie dense. Add some fresh mango and soft fruits so it's not too rich.0 -

Clean really means whatever the person declaiming it says it means.
In that it doesn't mean much at all.
But raw meat, raised in a way that pleases the person and cooked simply with a few quality ingredients can't offend even the staunchest of cleanies, can it?

Nuts are going to be the easiest to increase your calories with. Nutrient dense and generally high calorie. Legumes (beans) are also good, but not as high calorie for the protein/fiber content as nuts. Also, you should really be putting some meats in rotation. You don't normally get much creatine in nuts or beans and I'm sure you'd rather get it naturally than with some powder.0

In most definitions of "clean" a solid cut of meat, particularly if raised to certain standards like grass-fed, and hormone/antibitoic free would qualify but not to a person using a plant-based definition.0 -

Sure.
excepting veggie/vegan, you could eat any of the stuff I listed and probably still be "clean".

Surely butter churned from the milk of the same cow you were willing to fry would still be ok? OP did say they were already having milk (or did I misread that?)0 -

she did not list butter…she listed olive oil so I guses butter would be OK …
I would say yes, but I eat everything and anything in moderation …i just focus on hitting calorie/micro/macro targets….
would that be OK for OP …I guess we will see if she comes back..there are a million different definitions of clean, none of which I adhere too 0 -
LOL what are we in the 1980's now…??? I eat all those foods regularly and my health markers come back near excellent every year at my physical….

Okay, so we put her on a strict GOMAD with buttermilk instead of whole, or do we want to go whole hog and have her do condensed?0 -

Eating "junk foods" will not affect the quality of your bulk.
An individual who is eating "clean" but in a 1,000+ calorie surplus daily is going to gain more fat in their bulk than a person who eats "Junk" but only has a 250 calorie surplus daily.0 -
The low carb crowd already showed this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Keto followers are very high fat eaters, much of it saturated, and Atkins followers also eat a large amount of saturated fat, yet their blood work tends to be fine as well.0
