    What are your stats? What are you trying to achieve? if it's weight loss then you have already been consuming more than that so it shouldn't be a problem to hit that goal.

    If you're needing to lose weight, you've been consuming more calories than that...

    This! You don't become overweight by not being a big eater, most of the time.

    No you don't make whatever you feel comfortable with

    This is not entirely correct, you need to consume the proper amount for your stats. It could easily be 2200 for your stats, my intake is 1800 to lose.

    I think the problem is trying to eat that many calories in a healthful way. My allowance is 1450 and I have a lot of trouble eating that much each day.

    My advice would be just to seek out calorie dense foods. Nuts, quinoa, avocado, nut butters, olive oil, bananas, whole grain bread, corn, and hummus are some of the things that could up your calorie consumption.

    Good luck!

    That's spectacularly bad advice when you know so little about OP

    Underfeeding can be dangerous...
