Most people suggest 10x your weight in calories; but if you're losing weight, feeling satisfied, and pretty OK with how you feel, then I don't know if I'd worry too much about actual calories. I'm pretty sure according to the 10x's thing I'd fall short too. If you feel you need to add more however, then fat's the way to go. Smother veggies w/ butter. Cook with olive oil & butter. Use full fat dressings & sauces on foods. Use heavy cream in sauces. Leave the skin on chicken & pick fatty cuts of meat, which are usually cheaper & more flavorful bonus. Good luck.
God Bless,
