How much to eat??

I am 5'4, 120 pounds, 23 years old, and female. I've been weightlifting for years, and have a fair amount of muscle. I lift weights 3-4 times a week very intensley, and do very intense interval cardio walking and running uphills for an hour 4-5 times a week. I ate very little in the past few months- 11-1200 calories, and wasn't really improving all that much.I was constantly hungry and tired. I increased my calories to 15-1600 calories a day, and I feel like I'm a little leaner, but still constantly starving, and lack energy. I eat plenty of protein ,veggies and EFAs and oatmeal, and drink piles of water and take psyllium for fiber and I get 9 hours of sleep a night. I'm wondering if I need to eat more, or if I'm eating too much already. Seems like a lot of calories compared to everyone elses. I would like to maintain and possibly grow more muscles while keeping fat to a minimum. How much should you eat with this activity level without gaining weight?? I'm still so hungry...
 
If you're lacking energy and feel like crap then it means that you are not providing your body enough fuel to burn. I would eat some more good food, like some all natural peanut butter, which slows digestion of other foods you eat down and makes you feel fuller. Monitor your weight and if you are not gaining anything then you are not eating too much :D
 
Thanks! Natural peanut butter is actually one of my favourite things to eat!! I was eating very little for years so I geuss I feel guilty about eating too much, but I think I need the extra calories. The more energy I have, the more active I am!! :)

asuming you know the ratio that works best for you keep it the same by adding foods all around. you must need more food or possible more variety but i doubt its variety.
