How can I increase my calorie intake?

Options
I eat breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, dinner, and sometimes a morning snack. I get full easily and I don't eat a lot so how can I eat more calories without eating unhealthy? Any meal ideas? Thank you

    Peanut butter, ice cream, or doughnuts are good sources of easy calories.

    I will repeat it again, because it's literally the most amazing thing ever: Peanut BUTTER. Hot peanut butter and ice cream sundae can easily add in 600 calories for me!

    Olive oil is 120 calories per Tbsp with 14 grams of fat. You can put it on almost anything.

    What has been mentioned that is unhealthy? All I see mentioned are carbs, sugar, protein, and fat.

    Foods by themselves are not unhealthy, only unhealthy diets.

    This should help.

    Insults users because he thinks they/we missed something.

    Misses that OP is not a "he," but a "she."

    Original or wavy lay's potato chips have lots of fat and carbs. Drizzle chocolate for more deliciousness.

    Healthy fats are the way to go! Natural, unsalted peanut butter, olive oil, avocado, etc.

    Unsweetened fruit juices. All the calories and nutrients of fruit without the fibre to make you feel full. Think about the last time you made fresh squeezed orange juice. Was 1 or 2 enough to make a nice size glass of orange juice? Not really. So a large glass of pure orange juice can have all the calories of 5 oranges.
    If you put a whole orange in a blender for a smooth, you do get the fibre.

    You can do yummy things with chocolate, peanut butter and ice-cream. If you are trying to lose or gain. Just watch portions.
