I just can't seem to hit my calorie needs (2500). I'm wondering what kinds of foods have high calories (and low carbs)? I'm barely hitting 1500 calories, and that's not very healthy. I'm trying to up my calories but I don't have that much food right now.

I'm doing IF. Sticking to low-carbs because I've read some stories on here about people doing low-carbs and having great success. Plus, I don't eat carbs that much anyways. Today I had two pieces of whole wheat bread, 150 calories and 27 carbs, and it filled me up good. Here's a breakdown of what I ate today (I woke up at about 5:30 and didn't eat anything until about 1pm)
Whole wheat bread, 2 pieces
calories:150. fat:2g. carbs:27g. protein:7g
Steak Patty
calories:230 | fats:15g | carbs:0g | protein:21g
Boiled (Large) Eggs, 2
calories:140 | fat:10g | carbs:0 | protein:12g
Salmon Patty
calories:130 | fat:7g | carbs:1g | protein:15g
Chicken breast
calories:120 | fat:3 | carbs:0g | protein:22g
Chicken Tenders (8oz)
calories:220 | fat:6g | carbs:0g | protein:44g
Protein Powder
calories:140 | fat:2g | carbs:4g | protein:26g
CALORIES: 1130
FATS: 42g
CARBS: 32g
PROTEIN: 125g
I still need to up my protein a bit, though.

1,500 2,500 3,000
If the normal calories for someone your size and activity level is 3,000 don't eat half that. If you do you would be doing more harm for your body than good. As stated before eat complete meals and you should have no problem getting in 2,500 calories a day. If you don't eat enough you will lose lean body mass. I done that for about 3 weeks and felt like **** for about 2 months.

I've been eating like this for the past two days. I didn't realize it would be this challenging to get the right amount of calories, without resorting to junk like Doritos and Pizza (which I've been avoiding).

peanut butter/nuts, eggs, milk, avocados, feta are my fav things to throw in when lacking calories
possibilities are endless though
i don't get it how people fail at eating enough, 1 jar of peanut butter is like 0.80€ where i live, affordable...ಠ_ಠ

Look man, Your 260lbs, i don't know if it muscle or fat but i think mostly fat. This is because you want to be losing weight on 1100 kcal. That's way to low. What you need to do is get calorie full food's with low costs. This means, Chicken, eggs, nuts, and milk.
Eat alot of them and count the calories.

Stfu.
Then buy in bulk when you can. Stop staying away from carbs, buy a $hitload of cheap oats when you see any deals. Buy bulk peanut butter when you see deals... etc etc. rather than doing weekly shopping at standard prices. Its not too difficult even on a low budget, especially if you only need to eat enough for 2.5k cals a day.
