    Peanut Butter, Whole milk
    Anything that is high in fat will be high in calories.

    Lol, I'd just eat bacon with it. If not, the other suggestions with peanut butter, etc. are good. Look just to add some fat to your diet. Avocados, nuts, oils.

    I consume over 4000 calories a day and weigh 162 pounds right now. What I would recommend is more than 2,300 calories. 2300 is enough for maintenance but if you want to add muscle and weight fast spike protein levels and carbs than add in healthy fats like avocados and olive oil. I also use Creatine Monohydrate to give muscles water retention. For your goal I would recommend 5,000 calories a day to get started.

    5000? You know nothing about the OP's TDEE. Men can gain approx half a pound of muscle a week, so best bet is adding 3500 extra cals on top of tdee per week or 500 per day, that will give him a pound a week gain (fat gain is unavoidable, full stop).
    If he's maintaining at 2300 per day (correct OP?) then 2800-3000 is right..

    Agreed with everyone else, peanut butter for the win! Also, lightly salted almonds are an awesome snack! And a little ice cream never hurts either ;)

    I'm gonna round off numbers here.But protein and carbs are both at 4 calories per gram,while fat is 9 calories per gram.
    So adding fats will easily bump up calories.However,I would suggest healthy fats like avocado,nuts,mct oil ( pure medium chain triglicerides )
    But my biggest suggestion would be to increase your daily calorie intake.

    You can try different oils that are calorie dense (like olive oil) in your protein shakes to add more calories.

    I am a student too but if you truly want to change your body 2,300 calories is not going to cut it. As far muscle development goes your intake is only enough to keep them operating but thermodynamics is the key. Calories in calories out.
