Increasing Calories, really need help...

I thought if i dont eat anything i cant put weight on, what a stupid idea that was. I would eat around 800 cals a day and that would be it, and mainly at breakfast. For the past month i have been trying to get some stability back and eating around 1600-1700 calories per day and exercising in the morning. I have actually gained fat because of the dramatic increase i think. Basically should i go back to say around 1200 cals per day and raise it by 100 calories every week so that i dont get the excess weight gain back. Please help Many thanks Gaz.
