If you’re trying to put on weight, it can be very hard to find recipes in a world that seems obsessed with being skinny and calorie counting. Here are my top fifteen high calorie foods!
1. Cheeseburger and fries …

No surprises here, but this actually contains over 950 calories, without any dips or drinks. Take away cheeseburgers contain a lot more, with some topping 1500 calories per cheeseburger!!
2. Lasagne …
Made with normal cheese, mince and sauce, lasagne contains over 500 calories. However, if made with low fat cheese, mince and sauces, it drops to around 300, so be careful that you are buying the real deal.
3. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches …
Check out the recipe here, or just buy a premade one. These average 500 calories per sandwich.
4. Pancakes and syrup …

Containing over 750 calories, pancakes are very easy to make and you can vary them to meet your mood. Definitely an essential food if you are trying to gain weight!
5. Chicken Alfredo …
Containing 700 calories a portion, this is a very high cal chicken dish. It takes an hour to cook, and is very easy to prepare.
