Can i gain muscle by eating diary and stay within a cal. budget of 2200? i'm 16 and male

Muscle: It takes more than eating dairy products and 2200 cals per day to build muscle. You need protein and exercise to build muscle. Ideal calorie intake depends on your level of exercise. See a dietician for one consultation to get this type of advice. Also a physical trainer can outline a good exercise program for your age and body build.
