Answer - 1,000 kcal/day

Given the situation above, Matthew should consume an extra 1,000 kcal per day in order to regain to a healthy weight. This will promote a two pound weight gain per week. Typically, one pound of fat weighs 3500 kcal, so it would takes an extra 3500 calories to gain one pound of body weight.
