For someone who needs 1500 calories per day: You will want to get 75 grams protein or 10 grams more and at least 20 grams fiber per day. Fiber intake was high for today so concentrate on adding more protein and extra calories for times when feeling hungry. You can add an extra slice of bacon with breakfast with 45 more calories and 6 grams protein. Add an extra teasppon of peanut butter and 18 more mini oyster crackers for 65 more calories and another 1 g protein. That still leaves 90 more calories and 3 to 5 grams protein to add - you could add an additional roll with dinner or another half portion of meatloaf (not both)!

If you are more active or bigger or a man, you may be able to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week on 1800 calories and 90 grams protein and 25 grams fiber per day. Remember that it is NOT good to try to lose weight too fast because you can end up losing muscle and lowering the number of calories your body uses to maintain basic functions as the body acts to protect itself against "perceived" starvation!

Starting with the 1300 calorie amounts use 1/2 cup of pancake mix and an extra slice of bacon = added 155 calories, 13.5 g protein and 2 g fiber. For dinner, add another half portion of meatloaf, extra portion of potatoes and roll and a Fiber One brownie for dessert or as an extra snack. You have reached 1831 calories, 90 g protein and 36 g fiber.
