In order to determine which meal has the highest calorie content, we need to calculate the number of calories from fat, carbohydrates, and protein for each meal, and then add them up. To do this, we multiply the number of grams of each nutrient by the number of calories per gram.

For Meal A: 
Calories from fat = 50 * 9 = 450 
Calories from carbohydrates = 50 * 4 = 200 
Calories from protein = 50 * 4 = 200 
Total calories = 850

For Meal B: 
Calories from fat = 50 * 9 = 450 
Calories from carbohydrates = 80 * 4 = 320 
Calories from protein = 100 * 4 = 400 
Total calories = 1170

For Meal C: 
Calories from fat = 20 * 9 = 180 
Calories from carbohydrates = 80 * 4 = 320 
Calories from protein = 90 * 4 = 360 
Total calories = 860

For Meal D: 
Calories from fat = 20 * 9 = 180 
Calories from carbohydrates = 100 * 4 = 400 
Calories from protein = 50 * 4 = 200 
Total calories = 780

For Meal E: 
Calories from fat = 30 * 9 = 270 
Calories from carbohydrates = 70 * 4 = 280 
Calories from protein = 90 * 4 = 360 
Total calories = 910

Based on these calculations, Meal B has the highest calorie content with a total of 1170 calories. Therefore, Meal B is the best choice for someone who is underweight and looking to consume a high number of calories.
