My question wouldn't be so much the calories, but the attitude you have with eating. Are you purposely eating this many calories, or is this normal for you? Are you trying to lose weight? If you are restricting and trying to lose weight, I would say that this is a definite issue. If not, then I'd suggest trying to increase the amount of calories you consume, so you can gradually put some weight back on.

The symptoms of not menstruating and hair falling out are troubling as well. Would you be willing to see a professional for your concerns?
This is not normal for me. I have a fast metabolism, so my body needs more to maintain a healthy weight. I do not want to eat anymore than I already am. I do not have a positive view towards food. I do not want to weigh anymore than I already do.
