That's really a question best for a doctor who specializes in eating disorders. But based on what I know about weight gain, I think a pound a week is healthy, so every 2 weeks, 2 pounds might be a good target. But again, I can't stress how much you need to develop a diet with a doctor or professional who specializes in eating disorders.
