Hey, xprincess. ^_^ 

You can gain weight by snacking on anything: apples, french fries, cornflakes... It doesn't matter what it is. Just the amount of calories it has in it. However, if you're only eating 600 calories not encluding those snacks, that means you can (and should) have at least 600 more calories, more since you're a teen, it looks like you're trying to maintain. That's a lot of cereal and raisins. So go ahead and snack all you want!

Your post hurts my brain a little. I bet you'd get more replies if you didn't capitalize everything. It might be fun to chat sometime, you seem like an interesting person. We're close in age (I'm sixteen) and the same in height!

Thank you for your reply. It means alot to me =] I'm going to stop with the double ii's and capital letters, even though i think it looks cute. lol

Yeh chatting sometime would be good! I need someone to talk to, but how? Im new with this && don't really know what i am doing?

Help ..hehe <3

you only eat 600-700cal? what im confused...

but if you eat more then you burn you can gain weight... and you should eat everything in moderation... a calorie is a calorie... calories in, calories out... it doesnt matter where the calories come from, but it is best to eat a variety of healthy foods and less "empty" calories from sugars and fats

r a i s i n     is how it's spelled

I love the same cereal; add half and half (since you can afford the calories), and that will BUMP up the total calories by quite a bit!

Put a whole banana (cut in slices) on top - and add some more calories and it's yummy!

When I was your age, I weighed 106 pounds and was 5'7", so I was a super-thin person (most of my life in fact).

To maintain your weight, multiply your weight by 100 = 1170 calories.  Then multiply your weight by 10 = 117 calories. Add to the two together:  1340, and that will MAINTAIN your weight.

If you want to gain, then daily consume 500 MORE CALORIES - 1840, and you'll add ONE POUND IN ONE WEEK.  When you reach the 'ideal' weight you want, then STOP.  If you use the formula of 100 (x) your weight; then 10 (x) your weight and add the TWO together for the total, you'll be able to MAINTAIN without difficulty.

Since this represents a SEDENTARY condition, then for your exercise (use your meter), ADD THE CALORIES TO THE ACTIVITY TOTAL, so you don't start losing.  If you burn more than the 'maintenance' total (let's say 1340), and have burned up 2340, then you have to EAT 1000 calories within the next 24 to 36 hours to avoid reduction in weight. 

Because of your age, you're going to metabolize much more than you will 30 years from now.  One day, you might have to 'count calories to lose', but certainly not for some years to come.
