Yes! A teen boy should have nearly 3000 calories a day, depending on size, exercise level and height. In your teens, your body is both growing and building muscle, without enough calories, your body cannot grow properly. Also, if your diet is under 1000 calories, you are likely not getting enough nutrients, either, because you just don't have enough food. With so few calories, there will probably be a lot of weight loss, which isn't something that should happen rapidly, either.

How can a worried almost 7 stone 5' 5 healthy eater - who is somewhat active - gain weight?
Simple, to gain weight eat MORE calories. To lose weight, eat less. Eating more calories doesn't mean they have to be unhealthy calories though EVERYTHING (except some diet drinks and water) has calories, even vegtables. Just eat bigger portians of healthy foods and you should gain weight soon. Simple, to gain weight eat MORE calories. To lose weight, eat less.

This is for your coursework in health and fitness How much weight can be lost in one week when eating 100 calories or less And how much weight can be lost in a week on a diet of 1000 calories?
It depends on your metabolism and calorie expenditure. Let's say your body naturally expands 2000 calories a day. If you eat 1000 calories a day and expend 2000 calories a day you are losing 1000 calories worth of weight a day. A pound of body fat roughly requires 3500 calories to be expended. At this rate, within a week you'd create a calorie deficit of 7000 Calories, which equates to about 2 pounds lost. Good Luck
What happens if you reduce your calorie intake by 1000?
Everybody has a basal metabolic rate. This is the amount of calories required to keep one's body functional at rest. This normally ranges from 1000-1500 calories. Any exercise must be fuelled by more calories. If more excercise is being done than what one's calorific intake can fuel, the body will digest its own stores. Fat is often the main store used. So, if you were to decrease your calorie intake by 1000 and that therefore was not enough to fuel your exercise, weight loss would occur. If you reduced your calorie intake by 1000 and you were still consuming more than your exercise requirements then one would put on weight. If a reduction of 1000 calories means your total calorific intake was less than your basal metabolic rate, a severe and unhealthy amount of weight loss would occur. Muscular digestion would occur and healthiness would rapidly decline
