    You are probably best off adding something thats high in calories to something high in protein. Like, add unsalted butter or olive oil to chicken.

    Porterhouse steak cooked at home. Has protein and fat and plenty of calories.

    I had the same problem not too long ago.
    Now I make a 1200 calorie shake with 60 plus grams of protein.
    1 cup of oats
    1 cup of milk
    .5 cup of raspberry and blueberry
    2 scoops of protein
    1 banana
    And a tablespoon of Nutella

    Shakes helped me out a lot but I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for

    It's always tricky to find that combo.

    Not being able to eat meat or dairy, at the end of a day I'm always high in carbs (so that smoothie above wouldn't work), but below protein and calorie goals. I found the answer for me was an organic vegan protein powder - MRM Veggie Protein. It's very low in carbs, so it's perfect for targeting that one macro by itself. A lot of protein powders also have loads of sugar or artificial sweeteners, but this one is clean.

    What I tend to do now is mix a bit of the protein powder in with my morning breakfast porridge. That way I can head off the "giant gap" factor in my protein before it happens each day.

    Hope this helps!

    PS: I know a lot of people use whey protein (animal based) but I can't (causes inflammation in my joints) so I researched this Vegan powder - apparently the worlds strongest man swears by it.
