* Avocado is a personal favourite (~180 calories per avocado).
* Nuts have heaps of calories (~190 cal for 30g of mixed nuts)
* Grains like quinoa or brown rice are calorific and filling (quinoa is a good source of protein, too).
* Beans (1/2 can baked beans = ~180 cals)
* Fruit isn't that filling, but some of it is pretty calorific (~170cals per large mango, 75 cals per banana or apple) and a few pieces of fruit usually keeps me full for hours
* Olives (~10 calories per olive)
* Seeds (lotsa fat in these! 63 cals per tablespoon)
That should get you started.
