I am a vegetarian, I eat what I thought was a *ton* but apparently I am falling 200 calories short a day!! Given I have been sick this week but by golly I can't imagine getting to 1600 calories a day!!!

Some are healthy and high in Cal's some are a little lower.
You could certainly add nuts, chickpea's, any kind of beans, breads and rice0 -
I'm vegan and I have no trouble eating to 1600. Eat good fats - nuts, seeds, avocados. Eat whole grains.0

I'm a veggie too, I find that it's the small things like milk in tea or sugar that build up but I know what you mean, I'm eating plenty on only 1200 calories, more than I used to.0

I'm vegetarian as well and I had the same problem when I started...now it's getting much better. Eat higher cal foods like nuts and avocados, even throw some cheese into meals and eating a lot of smaller meals helps too. My normal "dinner" is only around 300 cals, Feel free to look at my diary and/or add me.0

Nuts off all sorts are great. One of my favorite snacks are unsalted dry roasted peanuts.0

I went raw vegan for 3 months and was able to hit 1700-1800 per day. I ate alot of fruit then. Apples, melons and such.0

Nuts, PB by the spoonful, Avocado, roasted peanuts, celery with cream cheese, whole wheat toast with butter, poached egg..0
-
Dipping raw veggies in ranch or blue cheese dip works well too. Or hummus.0

Preaching with the choir here... I ALWAYS eat nuts if I have trouble making my calories for the day! Really good for you, and pack a huge calorie load to get you closer to that "golden number"0

Add some healthy fats to your diet and you'll reach it.0
