Answers:
your metabolism can adapt to consuming more calories, just as it is currently adapting to the 400 calories you currently consume per day!. perhaps you can try slowly increasing your caloric intake, as low as 10-50 extra calories per week!? That shouldnt be too much, and if you are gradual enough you metabolism will adapt to it!. You may also want to look into gainers, which are essentially shakes loaded with calories, but that might be too big of a step to take at this point!. aim at a small but gradual increase in your caloric intake for a little bit and see if that helps you out
just a rule of thumb, it is never recommended that any normal individual consume any less than 1200 calories per day!. perhaps you can set some goals, such as consuming 450 by the end of the week, 500 by next week, and so on!?
what might also help you out is some strength training!. dont go trying to do powersquats or anything, but just do some light to moderate weightlifting!. larger muscles require more calories, and you may find yourself consuming more through this way as well, not to mention muscles are always a plus to have!

Honey, you are only thirteen!. I can't see any possible way for you to get better without telling your parents!. They'll understand!. There are about one million anorexic boys out there!.!.!.!.they account for one out of every ten cases!. Your parents will still love you, and they should be able to get you the help you need [and obviously want!.]Www@Answer-Health@Com
