Incorporate additional meals and snacks into your daily routine. Aim for five to six smaller meals rather than three large ones. Include calorie-dense foods like nuts, seeds, and avocados to increase your intake without feeling overly full.

Focus on foods that are rich in nutrients and calories. Opt for whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and dairy products. Foods like eggs, cheese, and nut butters provide essential nutrients and extra calories.

Enhance your meals with calorie boosters like healthy oils (coconut), butter, or full-fat dairy products. Adding these to your cooking or drizzling them over meals can significantly increase calorie content.

Incorporate high-calorie beverages into your diet, such as smoothies, milkshakes, and protein drinks. Homemade smoothies with fruits, yogurt, and nut butters are not only calorie-rich but also packed with vitamins and minerals.

Engage in strength training exercises to build muscle mass. Muscle weighs more than fat, so gaining muscle through weight lifting can help you increase your weight in a healthy way.
