  1. You won't gain weight from just 500 more calories.  The average person eats over 2000 calories a day.  It does depend of your level of activity as well, but again, as you are still eating less than the average human you should be fine.


  2. depends on your daily routine. i wouldnt say u would because u burn calarios on a daily basis.

  3. Nobody can survive on only 1000 calories.  If anything your body is becoming catabolic (meaning your body is trying to conserve by reducing your lean muscles and causing a lower basal metabolic rate).  If you havent lost weight yet for eating ONLY 1000 calories a day, this is ONLY because your basal metabolic rate is lowered.  This is not healthy and losing your lean muscles will only make you weaker and out of shape.  

    DO YOU REALLY WANT TO EAT ONLY 1000 CALORIES A DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE???  THAT IS JUST MORBID!!!!

    If you want to maintain your weight or lose weight, EAT NORMALLY (AROUND 2000 CALORIES) and exercise moderately (I WOULD SAY EXERCISE EXTENSIVELY BUT YOU WOULD BE LOSING TOO MUCH WEIGHT CONSUMING ONLY 2000 CALORIES).

    TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, you wont gain weight.  If anything your body might have RECOVERED FROM THE STARVATION A LITTLE BIT (although it is still starving!!!).  Most people have a basal metabolic rate of around 1,300 calories ATLEAST!!!  And this is for a small person.  Unless you are a really tiny little scary looking skinny person I doubt eating 1,500 calories would make you gain weight.  

  4. Well, without knowing how big you are i cannot tell you, but probably No if you are an active person
