You need to be eating more calories per day, especially if you're active *at all*. I eat 2100-2300 and am losing so quickly that my poor ribs are showing. I need to be eating more than that to maintain, but then again, I'm super active (at the gym or pool 6 days a week).

I would suggest aiming for 2000 calories a day for the next two weeks and then gradually upping your calories til you start gaining. If you eat nutritious, whole foods you won't gain fat, so stay away from anything processed. Make sure you're getting enough protein (I aim for 130g a day, but like I said, I'm very active).

Email me if you'd like more info: elizabeth@dopple.net
(I'm recovering from an ED, so I have found some tricks to "up" my calories since I used to eat less than 400 a day)
