Ok, now that I'm on a computer and not my phone, it's not that difficult to incorporate higher calorie foods into a meal. Typically people will recommend shakes and things, but you can easily plan cohesive meals that are high calorie.
For example:
Marbled steak
Mashed potatoes or mac and cheese or some combo of fat and carbs
Roasted vegetables tossed in olive oil (or preferred oil)
Dinner roll with butter
Personally, I view dinner as the same type of things and then rotate what they actually are. I usually have a main dish (protein focused), a side vegetable, a dinner roll or other carb source, and sometimes an additional item like beans or starch (I'm not bulking, which is why this is a sometimes thing).
Breakfast, you can do something similar.
Omelette/eggs, bacon, buttered toast, fruit, etc.
Lunch for me is typically dinner leftovers, so see above. And as suggested, full fat everything (stop buying "light" products if it's something you're used to), adding nuts or nut butters as snacks, etc.0 -
Peanut butter and wheat breed booom!! About 600cals plus milk0

Fat is your friend. Portable fats include nuts of all kinds and full fat cheeses. Dried fruits are also higher in calories. Hiker's mix is good. Spread peanut butter in celery to make it portable; a hit with kids too. Tortilla shells make leftovers and meats portable. Hard boiled eggs. Danone Danactive yogurt hits. There's fitness/protein bars that can easily be stashed in your bag, typically about 200 calories each. I also keep Premier Protein chocolate shakes around in an emergency.0

This is a really generic list of calorie dense foods that I keep around for those struggling to reach their calorie goals, but maybe you'll find some of the ideas here useful:
avocado
cheese
full fat dairy
Greek yogurt
ice cream
peanut butter (or other nut butters)
dark chocolate
less lean cuts of meat (including beef, pork, sausage, etc.)
seeds (chia, flax, sunflower, etc.)
nuts
olive oil
coconut oil
butter
beans and lentils
protein shakes, bars, and smoothies
hummus
beef jerky
cornbread
tuna
full calorie condiments
full calorie sauces & dressings
sour cream
guacamole
whole grain pasta
rice
bacon
whole eggs
quinoa
fruit and fruit juices
pretzels
bananas
scones
muffins (bran, blueberry, banana nut, etc.)
potatoes (sweet, red, gold, purple, white, etc.)
dried fruit (raisins, apricots, plums, dates, etc.)
granola
coconut
salmon

molasses1 -
Consider more frequent meals to hit calorie targets. Maybe change a snack to a small meal as this should help.0

You should just start a thread of high calorie foods with this list. Then we could start the 7 month process of getting it stickied in this section...0 -
I literally live off rolled oats and peanut butter when bulking0

And +1 to oats and peanut butter. I'm about to have some myself, with honey and whey too.

I ate indian buffet for lunch. It was all high calorie. I don't think I'm gonna eat again for like 2 days. So Full.0

That butter chicken uses cream in the sauce. Oh, so good. How do you create a cream based portable food for a toddler? Perhaps rice pudding in a snack cup?0

Getting it stickied sounds like a good idea since I end up posting this thing multiple times a day. Not sure whether it should be here or on the Food & Nutrition board, since it's useful for losing & maintaining as well.
If you guys can think of anything else to add, I'm always trying to make that list longer.

A less than obvious choice that is almost perfect in protein/carb/fat balance, VERY high in calories, and is universally available is pizza! Seriously, look it up...just be a bit particular about which ones you get.0
