how can I get more calories in my diet

typically, its 5-6 meals a day, every 3 hours.
recommendations are usually 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight and fat intake b/w 20-30% of total caloric intake.
for protein: chicken, turkey, lean red meat, fish, cottage cheese, milk, eggs
for carbs: brown rice, sweet potatoes or yams, veggies, fruits, whole grain breads, cereals and pastas, beans
for fats: oils, nuts,
fats increase calories easily. 1 serving of natural peanut butter has 210 calories. one serving of olive oil has 130 calories.

one you say natural peanut butter, what do you mean??
its not the peter pan peanut butter is it??
Its kinda hard to eat at work every three hours, what foods should I bring with me to work so I can up my calories and eat 5-6 meals a day.
By the way, when you say MEALS(what does is consist of), do you mean plates of food, or small items like a banana, healthy candy bar, apple, etc. What I mean when I say plates of food is....the food you eat for dinner, or lunch or breakfast.

the ingredients for the natural pb are just peanuts and salt. the only brand over here that i can find is smuckers.
when time is scarce, keep it simple. pop top cans of tuna or chicken are very handy. combine this with some fruit and you have a meal.
you even have the convience store meal: beef jerky and nuts. not perfect but its better than nothing.
can you bring an insulated bag to work with you to keep food cold? if so, you'll have more options like cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs and cold sandwiches.
