edited November 26 in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
I'm in anorexia recover. I'm 5ft 11, male and started at 118 pounds. Had a few really bad binge days due to uncontrollable hunger like maybe 4 out of 7. Ate 3500 calories each day. Weighed myself and was up at 126. Ano some would be water weight but freaked out A do sedetenary maintenance as am a student so really only do walking and looking to gain anything the now so don't do the gym so guess bmr/miantenace is about 1600. So the past 2 days I had 100g of pasta and 2 small slices of cheese pizza out of an Italian restaurant so guessed about 700 calories for that day. After a pee and poop this morning weighed 119 before today's eating. Then today had 150g White cooked rice, 70g chicken breast, 100 ml cooked curry sauce. Guessed about 700 again, as they were both out restaurants exacts are on this but I usually over estimate. So that's means am close to original weight. I hate these binges prefer eating normal meals but there Uncontrolable everyone says. How do I get my head round this and ensure I eat more and actually gain weight and do recover instead of this relapses and if I'm right adding both days together I haven't even had bmr for 1 day that doesn't include even though had a bed day the little exercise I have done. Need help. ASAP. Anything will do

    It's really hard to follow what's happening just based on the syntax of your sentences, but if I'm correct, sounds like you binged a few days, followed by some days of low calorie intake and you want to know how to consistently eat at a surplus to slowly gain weight? I hope that's right, my answer is going to be based on that being the question.

    Well first of all you just need to get in the rhythm of eating consistently. Make sure you're eating enough protein and fat as these macronutrients tend to be very satiating. If you eat foods that are not calorie dense like chicken breast and vegetables, they will fill you up but it makes it nearly impossible to binge on them. Now you don't have to solely eat these foods, just get a good amount of them included in your diet. Stick to your MFP calorie goal and be as consistent as possible. Hope that helps.
