1. It's been said before, but get a scale and use it. Even a measuring cup/spoon is not accurate:

^^So true^^

EXAMPLE: talk with people that make bread, I mean really good bread that the recipe can be duplicated and repeated. You weigh all ingredients because a cup of flour can vary in weight SIGNIFICANTLY.

Any reason why you want to hit the calorie goal? I think of it more as a guideline based on general information and an exact mark to hit each day.

That is because I am losing weight when I just want to maintain it ..

Thanks everyone once again!! I will look at weighing the food !!

All, thanks for the valuable inputs. I guess the fat is the missing portion from what I infer from the replies. I am a vegetarian and may be that is why this struggle.

I will try to add some good fats and try! Thanks again for all the inputs!

You can add oils, ghee, or lentils for a lot of calories. Any legumes or nuts. Milk products like yogurt or paneer as well. Good luck!

Interesting...
