Am I eating enough?

Hi!

I'm a 17 year old female who is 5'1 and weighs 88 pounds. I don't workout but when I'm not sat down in class, I'm on my feet. I'm not trying to lose weight; I'm using this website so that I can log what I eat and to make sure that I eat enough. I put my exercise status as sedentary and my target has been calculated to 1400 calories a day. My friends and family have expressed their concerns of me not eating enough and I probably don't eat enough but I don't feel hunger pangs so I have to force food down me. I think I eat healthily (not sure if you can view my food log but if you can then you can judge for yourself) but people say that I need to eat more but I get horrendous stomach pains if I eat too much. I struggle to meet 1400 calories (now and before I joined). I've been like this for about 6 months now.

Just wanted to hear what you guys think :)

    If eating makes your belly hurt, you could have a food allergy or sensitivity or something worse. Please see your doctor as soon as possible.
