Q: okay so i intake about 600 calories a day and i weigh about 118 and im 5'4. 2 questions. am i fat? and is 600 calories a day okay i'v been doing it for about 6 months so what would happen if i increased it would i gain weight?
Um, I don't think you're fat. Not at all. But 600 calories?! Isn't a regular intake like 2,000 calories a day? ...Anyway, if you're worried about gaining weight if you increase your calorie intake, exercise. See, you can eat more if you exercise, because it gives you energy to do things. What you don't want to do is gorge yourself with food and then sit on the couch and watch television for five hours. That's not good. But no, you're not fat. I just don't want you starving yourself. I don't know how you plan your intake, but if the average intake is 2,000 calories, what you're eating is about 1/4 of what everyone else eats. So, if you're worried about gaining weight with more food, just exercise a little daily. That's all!

thanks =)
