Eat high-calorie complex carbohydrates. Pasta, potatoes and rice are some choices in this regard; for example, a large single serving of pasta can contain between 800 and 1000 calories.

Consume healthy fats. Nuts and fruits that contain healthy, unsaturated fats that allow you to add calories very quickly. An avocado, for example, contains 235 calories, of which 203 are from fat. And 2 tbsp. of peanut butter add about 500 calories to your diet. Bear in mind, however, that the maximum percentage of calories you should consume daily from fats is 25.
