If i've been eating 800-1000 calories per day for about almost a year now.. if I up my caloric intake to 1300-1400 per day will I gain weight? I just really want to now but I'm a bit scared what will happen even if my bmr and TDE is a bit higher than 1400 since my body and metabolism is probably used to the low intake. I am 5'6" and about 120 lbs.

    How much weight have you lost over the last year (total) and at what rate (how many lbs per week)?

    Have you read the responses to your thread from a few weeks ago? There was some good advice given

    Yes this. Why did you make another thread asking the same thing?
