The high-calorie recipes on my site are labeled as “level 3” in the recipe notes. These meals are ideal for those with active lifestyles or anyone focused on weight maintenance. In fact, many of the meals I currently enjoy fall into this category.
If you prefer to eat fewer than three meals a day or skip snacking, these higher-calorie dishes might still be a great fit—even if you’re aiming for weight loss. The nutrient-dense options here are designed to give you the energy you need while supporting your goals.
Typically, meals in this category provide over 700 calories per serving, while snacks come in at over 200 calories. You’ll also find a few lower-calorie recipes here that include flour or dried fruit, as these ingredients tend to pack in calories quickly.
