Sometimes I eat a bowl of roasted chickpeas and its pretty good. I've been noticing that a lot of my protein options like tofu and seitan aren't super high in calories. I'm trying to gain weight rn and it has been difficult as I have a very high metabolism and a small stomach. I eat beans and nuts because they fill that niche somewhat but I was curious if y'all had and recipes or advice. Thanks :D

If you want to increase the calorie count you probably need to lean more on adding oil in your dishes.

I recommend walnut oil! It tastes great imo and has Omega 3 fatty acids. Keep it refrigerated for best flavor.
