How would you add 300ish calories to this meal?

I have already eaten:

Egg white fritata with zucchini, onion, cheese, and protein powder.

A large bowl of cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots.

A pound of cod (raw weight) mixed with 2 servings of lentils dressed with avocado, olive oil, and mustard.

Macros are obviously in good shape so what do you think should be next? The answer cannot be to save more calories for dinner because I won't be eating dinner tonight. I also have enough banked calories.

    Pasta, rice, bread, pita. Or wine.

    Whole eggs and butter. Oops I misunderstood. I'd have a snack: meat & cheese, nuts & fruit or maybe some veggies & dip.

    ...two small individual bags of Flaming Hot Lay's potato chips is 300 calories. ;)

    I like this answer too and I probably would have had something like it normally. I ran into a bit of moderation problem with these types of snacks over the holidays so I am holding back on adding them back to my routine for a short time.

    Ice cream.

    ETA: I see I'm late to the party, as usual.

    My banana had an almost ice cream like texture if that makes you feel better.

    Ice cream is not my goto anyway. It is too sweet for me.

    Cheese makes sense. Cheese and leftover bacon makes even more sense

    What’s leftover bacon😉

    Raw almonds or walnuts would get to 300 quickly. Or peanut butter.

    I agree about the ice cream, btw. Love sweets, but ice cream I can easily resist.

    I know I am late here but I would mash up avocado or two with honey and coco powder for a nice chocolate pudding :)

    That disagree was from me.

    Mashed avocado with coco powder just does not make a "nice" chocolate pudding. It makes an unpalatable mess better thrown into the trash than ingested. :sick:

    Better make some real choco pudding from milk, eggs and high grade melted chocolate with sugar added to desired sweetness.

    Have you tried it? The way I describe it?

    I thought it sounded interesting. I would probably leave out the honey because I think the avocado has enough sweetness to carry the cocoa powder for me.

    OTOH, real dark chocolate pudding, unless it is too sweet, is always a winner.

    I would add nice quality Olive Oil! (But can’t go wrong with @just_Tomek suggestions)

    That is not how it works.

    Plus, a little late!

    use the whole egg -not 300 cals but a step in that direction - all the good stuff is in the yolk

    NovusDies, my entire household has problems with portioning crunchy chips. We buy them in single serving bags. It's somehow different for me when I have to open a bag to eat the chips, as opposed to just undoing the clip and grabbing a handful, and I wind up making the chips match my sandwich if I use them as a side, because somehow going and getting a whole other (1 ounce) bag to finish out those four bites seems absurd.
