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.

    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.

    This is really helpful for me as I am trying to bulk up for my contact sports eg rugby. Girls, I understand losing weight is the most important thing for you, but remember, for alot of guys, gaining weight is the most important thing
