High fat foods...nuts, cheese, nut butters, fatty meats and fish...

You're still going to have to learn to pack the food away.

You might find some ideas from an article like this:

To add additional fats to your eating plan, get the good fats in there.
As noted in the article above, you may want to check out some weight
gainers to make a few of the recipes mentioned in the article. Its an
easy way to rack up some calories.

Use a free program like FitDay to track your daily calories - it will
also graph your nutritent ratios to see where you are lacking:

Do eat 5-6 SMALLer meals (every two to three hours) and not a huge meal
where you dont want to eat for the rest of the day.
