>Is that enough to help me maintain my weight? Dear Evan,
Are you losing weight? That said, you're probably pretty deep in deficit if you're at all active. 1500 kilocalories/day is considered the transition to starvation by the UNHCR for adult males. A few hundred more calories will likely make you happier and more energetic. Perhaps a glass of wine with dinner? I'd run a base metabolism rate calculator for your size, age, current weight, and activity level and aim to eat to approximately that many calories unless you've got some interest in CRON. Your current diet is also deeply lacking vegetables. Kale is wonderful, but not complete. Vegetables are free micronutrients. I'd add various veggies.
