From skinny to sexy...

I guess I'm one of the few people who is looking to put on some weight.

After years of eating disorder which has left me with a BMI of 15.6, 12-13% body fat, saggy boobs at the age of 18, a deflated bum, and chicken arms - I have finally had a wake up call. 2 years ago I was BMI 18, boobs size 28H - do you guys think I will get my boobs back? or is that just an impossible dream...?

Before summer I had a six pack, but traveling during summer and the plunge back into school really hit me and I lost ALOT of muscle mass.

I'm scared of the changes to my body. That's why I want to inform myself as much as possible about how to gain muscle weight with minimal fat, how to best exercises to encourage muscle growth and what exercises to do. I have an idea...but I really need something concreate. I can do 2-3 sets of 20reps of almost all exercises I have come across (tricep dips, bicept curls, launges, reverse sit ups, cruches, wide squats(sometimes I just hold this oen for 30secs) So I wouldnt say I'm a beginner....

I'm willing to invest in weights and such and I can go to the gym once a week (free from school). I just need someone to help me figure out what to do.

Also, I'm a bit anxious about nutrition. I dont want to go back to routine and staple foods and such. I have done so much work on intuitive eating, but some guildlines would be appreciated. For example, my BMR is 1500cals, how much over that should I eat to encourage muscle gain and how many servings of protein a day? I'm scared of sudden change, but if suddens change means more muscle then I'm willing to take the challange.

I used to log everything down (cals protein fats carbs) online...but I really dont want to get back to that.

Dont hesitate to ask any questions that will help you help me get some meat on!
