I aim for 1000-1200 calories per day but sometimes go up to 1500. Try increasing your portions of protein at meal times or adding an extra snack of cheese, nuts, fruit or yogurt. Another way is to use olive oil as a salad dressing. Olive oil is really good for you but people tend to avoid it because of the fat content. You can use fitday to see what you are lacking. I find that if my calorie intake is fairly low it is iron that I lack because I tend to eat fish, chicken, beans and dairy for protein and lots of vegies.
