Anyone know some foods that fall into all of these categories? I can usually find them with one or two, but I almost never find a good choice with all of them. Calorie dense because it seems like I can never eat enough food. I can't bring around that much shit to classes and work and whatnot.
 
oh gawd I love whole wheat pasta. .99 cents a bag from trader joes too!

Olive oil
guacamole/avacado
peanut butter
dried unsweetened fruit
 
The most calorie dense foods will be high in fat, that's obvious.

Nuts, Peanut Butter, & Full-Fat Yogurt are pretty good choices because they have lots of healthy fats, some protein, and some decent micronutrients.

Dried foods are also nice because the portions are so much smaller yet the macro/micro nutrient profiles can be very high.
