Carbs don't make you fat.... eating too many calories does. Are you in therapy for your eating disorder? :huh:

Eat the foods you like that give you adequate protein, essential fats and so on. You could for example aim for 75 grams of protein per day at 20% of your calories, 35% of your calories as fats and there's still 45% of calories left for carbohydrate.

First, you should be seeing a therapist or counselor to address underlying issues. Having professional support is key to a lasting recovery.

That being said... If you follow a good exercise routine, one that includes plenty of strength training and not just cardio, you can eat a lot and still be fine. If you're trying to put on weight, just eat. One trick I do when trying to put on weight is to drink a glass of whole milk and eat a PB&J between meals. Bread, peanut butter, and whole milk are all very calorie dense and can be taken in without being too filling.
