100g of butter contains a massive 750 calories, and butterkist popcorn contains 420 calories per 100g!
7. Bakewell Tarts ...

8. Chicken Broth ...
/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2009/07/697231_400x379.jpg)
One of my favourites, this is definitely worth cooking and storing if you can. This is broth and dumplings, and is certainly calorie heavy!
9. Mashed Potato ...
Calorie heavy already, at 480 calories per cup, but loaded with cheese and butter this is one of the heaviest foods, and also the easiest to make!
10. Homemade Pie ...
Whether its cottage pie or fish pie, serve a large portion with mash and vegetables for a calorie heavy meal.
These are my top ten calorie heavy foods, which I believe can easily be incorporated into a diet. If you can think of others, please let me know!

ebony: I what to gain and still heathy eatin.
Heather: Thank you so much for listing all these weight gaining foods! I can't seem to keep weight on and am currently underweight. Trying to consume all the good calories in a day that I can. It's so hard to find this info out there.
Shannon: So excited for this post and the 20 High calorie foods post. 6 months ago I lost 15 lbs and am now 10 lbs underweight (lowest ove been since 7th grade). Have not been able to regain the weight and I look like a skeleton. No one I know has had this problem so I'm getting a lot of uneducated advice. And when I typed it in before, I could only find weight gain for body building. Thank you thank you! Can't wait to try some stuff out!
GIGI: I'm guessing this list is for unhealthy weight gain then?
