I’m close to 5’11 I’m 153 pounds and i only usually let my self have 1200 calories a day is this bad?
I used to be waaaay overweight and I went through an emotional breakdown so I started not eating at all and just excercising, than i started to black out alot so i started to eat but just a little, just enought to get my body to function and to get me through the day. Then i got tired of workin out every day because my body just didn't have the fuel to do it and i knew this but i didn't want to gain any weight. I usually do what people call "Yo-yo" diet because I go from one extreme (eating very little calories) to the other (eating everything in sight) I just can't seem to find a happy medium. My whole family usually worries about me and encourages me to eat but I'm just so afraid I'll gain my weight back. I really need some advice on calorie consumption right now. Because I just did it again. For the past 2 weeks or so I've only been intaking 1200 calories but today I broke under the pressure once again and I binged. I know by extreme dieting I mess up my metabalism alot. HELP!!!!!!!

you are destroying yourself. go to a shrink to discuss your unhealthy body image. seriously, you will be ruled by this horrible stress for the rest of your life if you don’t. you need help asap to get your head straight. also, look up a dietician in your area. go to them, discuss your goals and let them help you pick a heathly but low-calorie eating plan. they can help you find foods that are good for you, low if fat & calories and keep you full. maybe consult a personal trainer to find a healthy exercise routine that is good for your goals and not too much. have them be around to call the shots until you can calm down. also, after your self-image improves, the binges will stop. you need to learn that a bit of chocolate when you want it is NBD…eating 6 candy bars and starving yourself for a wekk is not!
also, if your family is worried, talk to them. explain how you feel and DO THE THINGS I SUGGEST! you are mentally disabled by yourself right now!
at your height you should be able to stay at your present weight on a 1500 calorie diet=if you find you are still hungry,being a guy you can go up to 1800 max =good luck
Gaining weight is fine, especially if you gain muscle as it increases your metabolism. Gaining FAT is something you don’t want. 1200 kcal is probably too low and it seems like you already know that. The more important thing to pay attention to is your body fat percentage not your weight or BMI. Keep your BF in a healthy range and you’ll be golden.
