Nuts are calorie dense yet really healthy ways to increase overall calories.
Try sneaking a bit larger amounts of items ... for example instead of 3 oz of chicken, have 3.5 or 4. Instead of 1/2 cup cottage cheese, try 2/3.
If the thought of food is making your stomach turn, try a smoothie. You can make these really calorie dense with cottage cheese, protein powder, fruits, nuts, flax, etc.
If you routinely steam your veggies and eat them plain, try roasting them instead with olive oil (especially good with asparagus, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, carrots). Or saute in a bit of olive oil. Or steam, and top with a healthy oil based dressing.
Add some avocado ... it goes good with nearly everything.
