For people who have been to anorexia treatment!

If you have gone to anorexia treatment, what was the maintenance meal plan when you left? Did it help you?

i am currently in treatment at a research study at ny presybyterian eating disorders clinic, i have only had one meeting for nutrition with them and so far it seems like she (the dr) wants me to do 2000 calories as maintenance, and states that everyone regardless of age and size needs 2000 calories. i am mixed about this because i am a firm believer in tdee and that it varies per person. i haven't really gotten that far yet with it but the sounds of it she will have me on a 2000 calorie maintenance plan. that's more than double what i do now so i have no idea how i am going to do it but i guess i will worry about that when i get there.
how long have you been in treatment for?
i think it will help me though, transitioning a little at a time
