How long are you eating that many calories? I'd say keep eating and in a week or 2 weigh again.. Weight can flucuate upto 5lbs in a single day so i wouldnt worry. Dont weight for a week but still keep up eating the same amount. I'd say you will need to increase more to gain!

Let us no how it goes :)

auto- a fear of mine is keep gaining gaining gaining.. is it possible? is it hard to maintain your weight??

 

ttluvj- i eat four meals a day and then 2snacks. I'd eat cereal or toast for breakfast, soup and a sandwich for lunch, stirfry with noodles for dinner and i have two slices of toast at night! i also have 2 snacks a day and they are my fear foods i.e a bar of chocolate and then a bag of crisps or ice cream or something in them lines. its all within 2000 calories but i no i have to increase more now because im staying at this weight nearly 2 weeks now (also dropped 2lbs as i had the bug but increasing calories as from today)

 

what activity do you do? what is your meal plans daily like? what was your weight when you were healthy?
