Fixing a damaged metabolism

well its good that your eating more noiw remembercthat the average daily calory intake is about 2000 so youve got some catching up to do! I think the weight gain might be all in your head, you probably think your gaining weight and look bigger, but you actually might not be. if your exerscising as well, then you shouldnt be gaining too much weight of course, it depends on your weight now your body might be putting on the weight from the food because it needs it kind of like when girls go through puberty and add a bit , they need that extra weight so your body probably needs that to keep it healthy and help you do the things you do everyday look after your health good health is one of the most important things you have, so take care of it!

yeah I screwed myself up by eating like once a day for a few years, the high school years, wakeup go to school, come home eat, sleep.

Then getting out of high school and trying to get a good eating habit, my metabolism was so low I gained a bunch of weight, just keep up with the same routine and eventually your body will adjust, I think it was like 3-4 months till it was right.

EDIT: And dont put yourself down like that, If you where my age id prob hit on you ;)

Slowly add 100 cals a day, until you reach as many calories as you need
