increasing cals after long time diet

[BootyBrandy]

OK, my daily recommended caloric intake is about 2000 cals. for probably the last year my actual intake has been somewhere between 1200 and 1500 most days. the only way I get 2000 is on days that I cheat. my question is will my body have adjusted to this lower amount and how do I avoid putting on weight if I increase my calories back to the recommended amount?

Find your current maintenance calories.

If your calorie intake is higher than that then yes you will put on weight.
