Oh okay I'll be using it then. It's still shocking to me that even at a low weight im burning a decent amount of calories as its giving me. I always assumed lower weight= very lower calorie burn

Cool thanks! How accurate is that equation though? It's a just a generic equation people use?

I dont mind eating more if it means I atleast get to run a bit. The only problem is I dont know how much I burn through my runs. I dont have a heart rate monitor to calculate what I've burned and even mfp isnt very accurate at all so I'm kinda stuck on that. But yes I'm actually calling up tommorow and seeing if I am able…

I actually just cut it back. I used to run about 6 days a week but I've cut it down to 4-5 days but havent been running as much distance as I used to. I'm contemplating cutting it to only 3-4 days just so I could gain weight quicker. What do you think?

I think about 2 pounds. I dont normally weigh myself but I weighed myself consistently for the past week just to see if I was gaining anything. I increased my calories but am doing it slowly as I dont want to shock my body with a large amount of calories at once

Oh but I thought refeeding only occurred in people with anorexia? Or atleast that's what I've frequently read and heard

I'm not disregarding any advice, even the ones telling me to stop running. I mean, I'd prefer not to stop because running is something I truly love doing but if its something i have to stop to better my health, I'll have to do that I guess. I was just hoping I would be able to even while gaining weight because I know it's…

I've always been underweight but not THIS underweight but I'm honestly not too sure because like I've mentioned I'm not one to ever weigh myself often.

Of course my health. Although my last checkup, I only had low iron but took care of that bu eating more iron rich foods and took daily iron pills for it. Other than that, I was in good condition

I'm on a waiting list for a new doctor since I switched from my old one so it will be quite a while to go for a checkup.

Thanks for the info :) I will keep all of it in mind but I do have a question, is it bad idea to increase calories so suddenly? I was told that increasing calories so rapidly is a bad idea since I had been only eating very low calorie before (1300-1400) and that I should reverse diet?

Someone actually told me to reverse diet since my calories were so low before and that a sudden huge increase is not good. Should I ignore that too? Not very certain whether that's true or not

Did you increase slowly or just jump into bigger increases(ex: 250-500)? I hadn't realized my calories were so low before and I only hit around 1300-1400 so I'm not sure how high of an increase to start with

I quit counting calories a while back and thought I would just eat intuitively but its backfired on me and now I plan to track again to make sure I'm fueling for my runs+gain weight. The other day I calculated everything I had been eating throughout the time I was trying to intuitively eat and only came out to 1300-1400…
