Ive been trying to lose weight, and for the past two weeks I think I have been eating too few calories. How do I increase calories without gaining the weight I have lost back? I have lost about 4 pounds which may be water weight, but I jsut dont want to gain back aton of weight!

What makes you think you calories are two low?

You're saying you've been at it for two weeks.... which isn't long enough to decide plan efficacy at all.... but you're also saying you lost 2 lbs per week.

What's wrong with that?

well it may be more like a month since I have been trying to lose weight, but two weeks since I feel my calories dipped too low. well here is a typical day:

odwalla smoothie drink - 280 cals
class
30 minute eliptical, weights, core
class
cliff bar -240
class
60 minute run with xc team
emergen-c packet with water and an orange or piece of fruit
protein shake- two scoops with banana, water, ice and blueberries - approx 350?
3 corn cakes with tofurky - approx 100
some grapes

I am 5'6 and weigh 122 but I want to get down to like 118-116 where I was last year before I put on weight.. If you dont think my cals are too low I wont freight but I just really dont want to have to add more in and gain aton of weight. thanks for the help!

your food is entirely too processed... and you're what taking in about 1200 calories a day?

Your weight is already at the very low end of healthy - why do you think you need to lose a few more pounds?

I need to lose weight because I have put on some in the past year and I dont like it anymore. I just want to lose a few pounds, and for my body type 122 is kind of high.
