Calorie trouble

I have been aiming to eat around 1200 calories a day. I am exercising as well.... I am having trouble eating enough calories. I don't want to eat junk and I feel great eating all veggies and fruits I have been eating. I am looking for some snacks or meals that are low cal that will make me feel hungry and help me meet my calorie intake! Any help is appreciated!

    Uh, if you're having a hard time hitting your 1200 a day you need high calorie snacks, not low. Take two tablespoons of peanut butter and wash it down with a glass of chocolate milk, that's 500 calories.

    This.... If you're mainly eating fruit and veg you are probably too low on fat and protein.
