Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
spend about half an hour or more a day on the sedimentary bike and do pushups during the day to build good arm and leg muscle.
having fun with your friends on the trampoline is a good way to exercise and build up muscle as well

Hey its okay I was the same way, now they consider this as an eating disorder, called Orthorexia. I was really obsessed over food, and weight of course.
First of all, you should try to gain muscle in your body overall. Do push ups for arm muscle. It might be hard at first but if you keep on practicing it will help. And it really does help if you buy a LIGHT weight such as 3 lbs dumbells. I know you said you didnt have weights but that can be bought at Wal Mart for really cheap price. And it reallly defines your muscle and give you strength. Also trying handstand helps too. Start off using the wall and then go for it without it slowly.
For ab muscle, SIT UPS. do about 200 a day. You dont have to do them all at once. Do them in reps like 50 per rep and do 4 reps. or however you want them. Also if you are just starting out, 100 or 50 is a good way to start.
Leg muscles can be achieved from jogging. No denying in that so if you can jog for 20-30 min a day. That'd be great.
Lastly, TRAMPOLINE is a great bodywork OVERALL. Also very fun!
As for eating, lean meats are good because they give you the energy but low in fat. Chicken is very good source of protein which is the main source that will help you gain muscle.
Also if you are going jogging, eating baked potatoe and pasta is good. But if you don't work those off then it goes to fat because they are starch.
I figured, if you really lay off junk food, or have in moderation, it doesn't really matter what you eat. Just rememeber not to eat junkfood!
Water is also very good!
need more help then hit me up :D

eating right is very important for cheerleading... you will not gain muscle without eating right.. because your body will start breaking down the muscle because there is no fat for it to burn. Not eating is not what will help you stay skinny.. in the end it is completely worse for you.. and you won't have enough energy to play a sport. If you want to stay in shape and gain muscle and lose fat you have to have the right mindset... you need to be willing to do whatever it takes..and set goals for yourself. Eat a lot of foods with protein..peanut butter would be an example and it doesnt have the bad fat in it.. also if you like chocolate milk..that has protein. Just make sure you balance your diet, eat breakfast to start your metabolism.. have a few healthy snacks during the day.. and eat lunch and dinner... try staying away from caffiene and sweets. Once you have a healthy diet you'll feel better and have more energy.. stay active.. run around your neighborhood for 20-45 minutes.. however long you can go for.. stretch, and do ab workouts, go to youtube.com and type in ab excercises and they have videos... it's very important that you are eating though... you will not become fat.. i hope this helps you a little bit... ask me any more questions if you need help...! good luck..<3
