High-Calorie Foods That Are Good for You

8. Oatmeal

Some people shy away from oatmeal for being too high in carbohydrates, but this little breakfast bowl packs fiber, protein, and nutrients into your morning, as well as complex carbohydrates. Oatmeal is good for a heart-healthy diet and is gluten-free (although check for certified gluten-free oats to be sure there's no cross-contamination). Choose unflavored oats and mix in fruit, honey, nuts, or even a bit of jam to avoid all the sugar in flavored instant oatmeal packets - oatmeal definitely doesn't have to be boring. This bowl of cereal keeps you warm and full all morning long.
