How many calories should I aim for?

Everything the person above me said, plus:

Sometimes when you up your calories you get way more hungry. I've experienced this. It basically felt like my body was saying, "Oh, there's more food? HOLY CRAP EAT ALL OF IT!" In your position, I would go with the flow and eat if you're hungry.

And I'll reiterate, recovering from ED of any type is best done under the guidance of a professional. A specialist physician or a dietician (I don't know exactly what the options are where you live, you may need a referral). Especially if you've stopping having periods. That could be a weight issue or a hormone issue or who knows what, and only a physician (a GP should be fine) can tell you that.

My guess is that you need 1800-1900 calories to maintain weight, so upping to 2000 until you start having periods again doesn't seem like a bad idea.

I'd try and get a few extra calories in if I could, your meals overall look pretty healthy! Except I'd swap the coke for a water (I don't like fizzy drinks)
Try adding a glass of semi-skimmed milk somewhere everyday! (Perhaps with breakfast) then you'll get some extra carbs, protein, calcium, iron and calories!

You could also get some nuts into your diet! Nuts are quite calorie dense, full of healthy fats (the kind that keep you slim and healthy) and they also have a hefty dose of protein and calories in them!

Good luck overcoming your ED, and well done on not letting it control you!

I'm late to this party, but I'm also one of those eating disorder lurkers on MFP. Sort of taken it upon myself to spread care and knowledge, one recovery ED person to another ED person.

One thing you should know is that someone in recovery doesn't go from their VLCD lifestyle immediately into eating 2000+ calories. This kind of jump can make you incredibly sick, and can even kill you if your body has been in a fasting/starving phase for long enough. It's extremely ill-advised to refeed and attempt a recovery diet without a nutritionist and physician advising you.

Just because MFP *says* you need something doesn't mean that's what your body *actually* needs. I learned this early on, being on here. I had to get a calorimeter and actually measure my daily burns to the minute to get the right number for me... MFP's number was several hundred calories off from what my body actually seems to use. You hunger could be a sign that a similar thing is occurring for you as well. If you're hungry, eat. You're not looking to lose, so satiety is ultimately good. You don't want to be bursting, but there's no need to be hungry.

I know that it can be difficult to get followup care with the NHS, but eating disorders are rather permanent once they set in. You can go into recovery mode, recover your body and mind, but continued therapy, mindfulness and persistence are necessary to keep you from relapsing.

This should be said though. A diagnosis of EDNOS doesn't fit into the criteria for other well-defined eating disorder presentations. It may not be advisable to increase you calories by a drastic number. Depending on your symptoms, it could bring a whole host of new problems. My advice? Pursue further analysis, both medical and psychiatric. Most EDNOS cases, when further investigated, result in a more accurate diagnosis... some even result in diagnosis that is not psychiatric but organic (meaning it's actually caused by a function of your body that can be clinically addressed). EDNOS pretty much only acknowledges that you have abnormal eating habits. It doesn't really lend well to treatment because it's so loosely defined.

Set your goal to maintenance, and follow your calorie goal for a few weeks while eating back your exercise calories at the same rate you did while you were losing. Then reevaluate.

If you're still losing, eat back all your exercise calories (if you weren't before), or increase your daily calorie goal by 100. Give it another few weeks, then reevaluate.

If you gain, set your goal to lose .5 lb. per week. Reevaluate in a few weeks.

It will take trial & error to find the number of calories at which your weight stabilizes. And your weight will fluctuate day to day & throughout the day. Once you find your sweet spot, pick a weight range (for example, +/- 2 lb.), and fine-tune your calories whenever your weight goes outside the range.

I've already been setting my goal as maintenance- mfp suggests 1610, but often I'm still hungry after that, so I am going to try 1700 and see if that satisfies me without weight gain! I don't really do any specific exercise though, just walking to and from lessons.

Hope you were at least honest and set MFP to Lightly Active, since you have no 40 hr desk-job with little to no other physical activity outside exercise - you are walking more than sedentary person would.
Bump it up - that will give extra cal's.

Then great advice above.

any calorie intake around 2000 and no more than it .. if your trying to maintain weight.
