Losing last 10lbs

I tried to lose the last 10lbs but ended up doing it too drastically and messed up my metabolism. I stopped and increased my intake to 1600-1800cal for a week and have gained a little weight. I want to go back to my plan of losing the last 10lbs but doing it the right way. I have no issues with eating healthy or exercise - I continue to do both but the problem was I wasn't eating enough.

Is it safe to stick to a 1500cal intake?

What can I eat that's healthy to increase my calories? (don't want to eat unhealthy snacks to fill up my calories)

    What makes you think you have stuffed up your metabolism?

    Well done on getting 10 pounds from your goal! I hope you get some helpful answers. x

    I started losing my hair - it thinned out - telogen effluvium

    I posted this in general weight loss forum as I thought after it may be more appropriate there
