- 900: ghee is more pure than butter. This is the max possible calorie density because pure fat is 900 cal/100g and protein/carb is 400 cal/100g
- 700+ butter and mayo — tied at 720 cal/100g, but luckily I seldom eat them directly 🙂
- butter cookies and pastries
- 600: peanuts and almonds — 550-600 cal/100g, but more heart-healthy than animal fats. Has fiber
- 500: brownie 500 cal/100g
- 400+ croissant (butter) 410 cal/100g. I saw small croissant at 300 cal and I can eat four in one meal.
- 400: cheese 400 cal/100g
- 🙂 i don’t eat cheese in bulk
- 🙂 cheese alone isn’t tempting
- 300+ cheesecake 300+ cal/100g
- potato salad with mayo. Due to the fiber, I probably will stop after 1000 calories. Without mayo, it’s only 110 cal/100g
- ice cream is often 600 cal/pint but the range can be 300-1200 cal/pint. I think the H2O concentration is much lower than in my milkshake.
- avocado 250 cal/mid-sized piece, 160 cal/100g
- white sauce
Pattern — Every item is fatty, and many of them sugary or starchy
Water content can be a saving grace but not in creamy soups
