Turns out i was wrong about my height: apparently im 164 (meters, and currently weighting around 50 kg) which, according to my nutritionist puts my TDEE around 1500 calories.
Im sedentary: partially by choice and partially because i LITERALLY can't afford to move around or exercise due to chronic pain.
I was a little underweight (43kg) months ago and i've gained that weight back forcefully (by stuffing myself with whatever i could find) because apparently "i was too skinny" and everyone kept freaking out about it. Turns out that i was just barely underweight and everyone else was well, freaking out about nothing at all.
Thing is, i want to keep my current weight, as even increasing it a little means slipping back into overweight territory; but as i said, i also do not want to go back to being underweight, but with such a low TDEE it's virtually impossible to maintain weight without being unhealthy: in fact, i eat around 1300 and sometimes 1400 calories and im constantly sick. My skin is dry, my head hurts and my extremities are always cold. Literally nothing has changed from when i was underweight despite my BMI being in the normal weight range.
How am i supposed to mantain this weight though? Or am i supposed to keep gaining weight forever? My nutritionist pretty much gave up and said that i do not even need a diet, just eat whatever i want or something along those lines which it's..crappy, considering his job is to help me figure out this stuff.
Please help. I don't know what to do anymore. Eating more means being overweight and eating just right means that i'll keep being sick. I won't "starve" because i don't truly have an appetite, but my body is clearly suffering and all i've been doing is trying to keep my current healthy weight.
