Reply from Jocelyn, Age 19 - 06/05/10 - IP#: 96.51.76.xxx How much are you eating? Just from my personal experience, about 2 weeks ago I started eating 1300-1500 calories and I gained 2 pounds! But then a week ago I upped it to 1500-1800 (usually about 1650 a day) and lost a pound and a half. So especially if you are exercising a lot, eat a lot too! Of course, make sure it is healthy foods=) Also, you might need to get some healthy fats such as peanut butter if the only thing you are eating is salad. I hope this helps you! Try eating a little more for a week and see what happens.
