    Not eating enough to gain weight... your maintenance cals are probably in the 2200/day range, you should try eating 250 cals/day above your maintenance, plus eat back what you burn from exercise.

    So I suggest putting your goal in this site to gain 0.5lbs/week and eat that many cals plus what you burn from exercise. Do that 4-6 weeks, if not gaining, then up your cals by another 200 or so

    How long have you been working out? How many days per week, how long? Have you entered everything into MFP and set it at gaining 0.5 or 1lb per week? 2000 is definitely too low. I'm 6' 200lbs, have it set at maintenance, and that puts me around 2300 calories per day.
