Well, before when I would increase my calories my weight would jump up very quickly but now if I do my weight just gains very slowly going a little above my calculated TDEE. I wasn't sure how long I need to stay at TDEE if I have been increasing for months.

Thank you. I wasn't sure. I have been working on slowly upping my calories since July and have eaten what is calculated as my maintenance for two weeks now though and have not been gaining. I will stay here at maintenance for a while to get my body to trust me again. Thanks again!

Yes I was. I could not lose a bit of weight even on 1200 calories before.

Weight has nothing to do with your metabolism or "starvation mode." Their are some people who are extremely overweight who can seem too lose weight on even 1000 calories.

Because I gain weight when trying to eat at my maintenence calories, even 400 below it!

My BMI is 21.5 not underweight or anything.

My BMI is 21.5 so I'm just average. Not underweight or anything!

Oh, thats awesome advice. THANK YOU!

Will my weight go back to normal eventually?

Thank you so much! I will try out your advice!
