    Your protein set point looks scary low! Should equate to 1.5 grams per kg of lean body mass to maintain muscle at current level. You will need more if doing strenuous exercises.

    Surely you can't be doing any exercise with so little fuel. Also eating more frequently/regularly will help your appetite.

    Perhaps start planning your meals (they don't need to be big), add in a little exercise and this will help to kick start your metabolism, and your body will reward you by having more energy and making you feel great!!

    I am a 32 y/o female who NEEDS 1800 - 2000 cals a day just to stay sane (yes I need to earn some of that).. but still losing..

    19 year old males should eat more than you are eating. All of them. Always. No exceptions. The end.
