Could i still gain muscle if i don't eat a lot?

Sure: If you're planning to build muscle, try for 1 gram of lean protein per pound that you weigh now. You needn't eat a whole lot more and you can stay semi-hungry much of the day just as you perhaps do already. This would be a great gift for yourself. Best wishes.
