Is it possible to gain while staying in calorie goals?

Now that I am at this weight… if I continue to eat the way I was eating (healthy, fresh foods and within my TDEE range), will…

Ive recently lost alot of weight by eating around 1200-1500 calories per day, however I broke my diet ALOT ( at least 1 or 2 times per week due to social life, where I would get through alot of calories due to alcohol consumption, or through eating burgers at resteraunts.) I ate this much as I was aiming to loose a little…

Sudden loss of appetite?
Last July, I went to the doctor and he told me to do the "zone diet". After I started it, my appetite increased dramatically but it did not seem practical to continue it for various reasons, so I would just eat when I was hungry. My weight did not change during this time. However, in the past few days, I have barely been…

Trying to figure out maintenance
When I switched to maintenance about three months ago, I immediately gained 2-3 pounds. So I switched my calories back to 1440/day (0.5 lb loss per week according to MFP). When I lost those extra 2-3 pounds again, I started being less strict about staying within my calorie limits for the day. Now my weight is slowly…
