Do you eat three full meals a day, but sometimes need a little extra treat to get you through that three o’clock slump? Do you crave more than a handful of almonds or a few celery stalks? Look no further! Here are some snacks that contain over a full day’s recommended calories that are sure to leave you feeling plenty satisfied until your next meal.

Empty the contents of one 15-ounce jar of peanut butter (chunky or creamy) into a bowl. Top with half cup of melted chocolate chips, followed by a half cup of unmelted chocolate chips. Garnish with 6 tbsp. of whipped cream. That’s just 3,102 calories that will tide you over ‘til dinner! Easy.
Bacon Cheese Pasta

Oreo Smash
Take 50 Oreo cookies (no fewer—we’re counting calories here!), smash them up, pour them into a bowl, and fill with two cups of whole milk to put you over that 3,000-calorie mark. This tasty treat will help make that tough breakfast-to-lunch transition much smoother. Now you won’t be reaching for that second cup of coffee!
