1500 calories is a lot amanda. My dad works with nutritionists and they say 1000-1200. Basically you take your goal weight and add a zero behind it and that is what you should eat, but a minimum of 1000.

The others are right. You need to try and eat more; eating nothing for lunch isn't going to get you anywhere. Make sure you eat 3 meals per day, or do what some others have recommended and try for multiple small meals. It isn't going to hurt you; it's going to help you. Losing weight and getting fit isn't about depriving yourself; you can still eat what you love, but try it in smaller amounts or whatever. Anyways, good luck. :)

Your gaining weight because your starving yourself..whenever you do that, your body stores EVERYTHING you eat 8even if its just a few calories* as FAT. In order to get your metabolism burning you have to eat small frequent meals and AT LEAST 1500 calories a day. If you dont..then duuhhh..of course youll gain weight.
