    In the UK they can be purchased from any supermarket and are not normally over £15.00 not sure about the US though but can't see it being much different

    I got the goal from MFP. I ate way under my calories yesterday. Had like 700 calories for food and then burned almost 500 working out. I count calories on everything eat.
    How are you "counting calories"? Are you weighing your food?

    I had an appointment to count them but have been asking stupid Siri lately. How exactly should I be counting them?

    You should be weighing the food on a digital food scale and selecting the appropriate food from this database, accuracy is the key here

    In the US they tend to cost $10-$20. Ebay, Amazon, Target, Walmart, and many grocery stores will carry them. But I'm going to 2nd the above commenter. Go easy if you have a history of ED and check in with your doctors.

    I actually just went to my doctor last week. He wants me to exercise for at least twenty minutes a day. I have other health conditions that require healthy diet and regular exercise.

    Was your doctor aware that you are eating under 1,200 calories a day?

    Yes but let me just throw in, I'm not intentionally starving myself or anything like that. I do eat, but usually I eat mainly vegetables and fruit. Some meats are okay but I am not the biggest fan of them.

    Your doctor knows you have a history of struggling with ED since you were ten and s/he is okay with you eating under 1,200 a day? You don't have to eat meat to get 1,200 calories a day. I am vegan and I can still consume more than 1,200 a day.

I had a past with ED..I have been doing better otherwise I wouldn't gave gained the weight I did this past year and a half. But I am not comfortable with how I look now so I am trying to lose some of it.
