6. Butter ...

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

7. Bakewell Tarts ...

A single bakewell tart contains 400 calories, learn how to make one here!

8. Chicken Broth ...

Chicken Broth ... 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!

Hey girls! My nutritional requirements are 2500 calories a day - to maintain my weight. Do you know how hard it is to eat 2500 calories a day when you don't eat fast food, packaged food, or drink pop or alcohol? I have the body of a 17 year old, except I'm 54. I want to gain some weight without giving myself a heart attack! I'll be trying some of your suggestions.
