By Parul Dube

High-calorie foods provide one with more energy and nutrition. There are a myriad of reasons why one would start consuming high-calorie foods

Rice

One cup of white rice contains around 200 calories, 44 grams of carbs and very little fat. It’s also a pocket-friendly and convenient high-calorie food source

Potatoes and Starches

Potatoes and other starchy foods like quinoa, oats, squash, winter root vegetables and others add calories and carbs to their diet

Whole Grain Bread

Whole grain bread is a good source of carbs and calories. They also contain vitamins, minerals and fibre, which provide their own unique set of advantages

Milk

It’s a good source of protein, carbs, calcium, calories, fats, vitamins and minerals. Studies have shown that children who drink the most milk easily achieve the suggested weight

Red Meats
