    While I love peanut butter, that sounds horrible...

    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.

    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.

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

    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...

    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?

    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.

    Palak paneer for the win! I could eat that stuff for days although my digestive tract would hate me...
