I upped it from 1200 and the maintamence is 1400 calories but I am not sure what is considered healthy. Do I reach 2500 calories per day? The weight gain was temporary? How does that work? Lol

They want me to get into a healthy bmi because I would like to get pregnant they said to weigh at least 120 for someone who is 5'6 I just don't know if three lbs was fat or water retention because I have not gone over my maintamence I have even kept under :/
