Here are some high calorie healthy foods that you can use to gain weight:

Starchy foods like potato, rice, wheat, pasta, etc. are rich in calorie, and every portion of these foods contain about 80-100 calories.
Bread, especially wholemeal, granary, brown and seeded bread, is a healthy choice to eat as part of a balanced weight gain diet. Wholegrain, wholemeal and brown bread also give us B vitamins, fiber, and some minerals.
Brown rice and grains are an excellent choice of starchy food. They also give us energy and B vitamins, which both help us gain weight.
Potatoes are a great choice of starchy food and a good energy source, fiber, B vitamins, and potassium. Although potatoes are a vegetable, they are rich in carbohydrates and energy.
You can eat a moderate amount of starchy foods in your weight gain diet.

Nuts and seeds both are an important part of a healthy diet. They are good sources of protein, healthy fats, fibers, vitamins, and minerals. Nuts and seeds contain unsaturated fats and other nutrients that protect your body against heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Most nuts and seeds have very similar macronutrients like protein, carbohydrate, and fat, but different nuts may have slightly different micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals.
We recommend eating 30 grams of nuts and seeds at least 5 days a week.
Since nuts and seeds are a great source of healthy fats, they are rich in calories; also they are very tasty to enjoy in your gain weight diet.

Dried fruit is the fruit, but almost all of the water content is removed through drying methods. At the same time, calories, vitamins, and minerals are preserved. So they are a great choice in weight gain diet because they are very calorie-dense. Dried fruit can be preserved for much longer than fresh fruit and can be a handy snack.
Raisin, figs, apricot, peach, plum, and dates are some of the most common dried fruits. Of course other varieties of dried fruit are also available.
Dried fruit contains almost more than 3.5 times the vitamins and minerals of fresh fruit. Because dried fruit is sweet and calorie-dense, it is easy to eat large amounts of them at a time, which can result in calorie intake and weight gain.

Avocado is one of the best sources of healthy fatty acids include omega-3. Since avocado is a fatty fruit, it has a large content of calories. Just one large avocado has about 350 calories, and it is a big number. You can add avocado to the main dishes or eat it as a snack.

Peanut butter is a tasty and popular food among people; it contains many nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, protein, and healthy fats. As you know, when you eat more calories, you will gain weight. Since peanut butter has a large content of fats and calories, eating that helps you gain weight. Each 3 tbsp of peanut butter contains about 280-290 calories.
More than 70% of peanut butter fats content are unsaturated fat, so don't worry about the fat if you like its taste. You can eat peanut butter in your weight gain diet by spreading it on your toast or as a dip for apple and celery stick or adding it to your smoothie.

One ounce of hard cheese (30 grams or a wedge about the size of your thumb) has about 120 calories so that you can enjoy it in your weight gain diet plan. You can add some nuts or seeds to a better taste and add some extra calories to your meal.
