I am a high school senior, 5 9 amd 120-126 pounds. I am underweight and recovering from ED. However, I have to eat lime 4000 calories a day and I find it extremely hard to reach that quantity no matter how many calorie dense foods I eat. So I consistently eat like every 10-30 minutes even when Im not hungry. I do it just for the purpose of reaching my goal. Im afraid it will turn into bingeing even though it's to gain weight.

    ED = Eating Disorder

    OP, I agree with the above. Your recovery team is much better equipped to answer your question than anyone here in the forums.

    Have you tried talking to the school counselor about this?

    Is there an ED recovery support group in your area?

    Hey OP, I also struggle with disordered eating. I can imagine it's very hard to hit 4000 calories.
    Who set the 4000 goal for you? If you can't hit it, I wouldn't try to force yourself. It could make you very sick :(
    Something like 2500 - 3000 is enough for weight gain for an underweight person, provided you don't do much exercise.
