Don't be afraid to eat...
Variety is the key so that you can pick up nutrients and vitamins.
So eat a variety of fruits and veggies, breads and meat... and keep active.
Just don't go overboard foods high in fat.
Most dieticians are advocates of the food pyramid, see below link.
The food pyramid is a good place to start.

You should see a dietican or talk to your family doctor. You need a certain amount of calories everyday in order to keep your body healthy. Your body sounds like it's going through a starvation phase and you have to slowly work your way back up. Eat small meals four or five times a day until you can eat like you're supossed to.

Nutrition
Every day you hear nutrition messages from the media and sort through information from advertisers who want you to buy their products. Some products are healthy, but others may be lacking in nutrients. Sometimes it's hard to sort it all out. What's important is to follow the basics: eat a healthy diet by choosing a variety of fruits and vegetables. Avoid fats, added sugars, and salt. Eat in moderation.
Eating right makes you feel good, and it's important for reducing your risk for diseases like heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, stroke, and osteoporosis. In fact, healthier eating could reduce cancer deaths in the United States by as much as 35 percent.
On the Web sites below, you will find the information you need to eat healthier.

You are stressing yourself out over food when all you need to do is eat a balanced meal, each meal.
It is really simple. Not as hard as you are making it.

fruit and veg
starchy foods such as rice, bread, pasta (try to choose wholegrain varieties when you can) and potatoes
less fat, salt and sugar
some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs and pulses.
eating very little food, and then alot of food i not good, and could lead to bulima (its not just about throwing up!).
its important to get a variety of food, not just fruit. we need protien vitamins calcium etc... expecially at your age.... check out this web site
