    Wow guys, thanks.
    I am slowly gonna increase caloric intake maybe by 200 each week, then sort out a stable diet etc...

    Increasing is a good start.

    But please call your GP and tell him how much you weigh and your height (assuming that you're in the UK by the use of stone). My ex was in the UK and his GP was all kinds of worried when he was 6' 4 and 10 stone. He can hook you up with a dietician to help you out with an eating plan better than us on the internet.

    Thanks a lot for today guys,
    I am probably gonna buy some protein powder for that extra protein/calorie intake.
    why not go for real food? if you aren't vegan/vegetarian then tuna, salmon, eggs, chicken, lamb, beef, yogurt are pretty delicious and have good protein . if you are vegan/veg then lentils, nuts, quinoa, nut butters, tempeh are good too

    Yep was gonna just weigh out what food I got home and track it in like that, but I luckily found it on MFP!
    And thanks guys, is it me or do you guys not eat back your calories burnt because you believe they are innacurate?

    If you @ deficit the aim is not to eat them back - if you want to get big you eat them back!

    While for the OP this is correct for those trying to actually lose not gain this doesn't seem to be the best advice!

    I don't like consuming too much foods through out the day and would feel better by drinking shakes etc...

    Why wouldn't I...food rocks...I eat around 2800-3000 calories per day to maintain. Also, properly fueled workouts are awesome....and muscles are pretty sweet and stuff...

    I thought you said you were already eating 1600 calories a day.
    Please work on increasing above that. You're severely, dangerously underweight. If protein shakes are what it takes, have protein shakes. But right this minute, go have a few spoonfuls of peanut butter and a glass of full-fat milk. Or something that's calorie-dense. Please.

    Damn. A pre pubscent girl weighs more than you.

    Try eating 2k for a week or two and see how much you've gained. Remember to weigh out your food so you can track it accurately.

    If you're having trouble eating 2k, eat more calories dense foods such as nuts, nut butters, avacados, rice, bread and slightly fattier cuts of meat. Or you could just make a weight gainer shake.
