My favourite at the moment is probably a banana plus 200ml soymilk, a dash of cinnamon, and a pinch each of nutmeg and cloves. So good and a great snack!

Cut tofu into medium sized cubes, fry in soy sauce (you shouldn't need much oil). Really nice!

Only when I was really deep into my eating disorder. I stick to healthy and tasty stuff now like sushi/donburi :)

Coconut yogurt is my faaave <3 I also eat little soy pudding style yogurts by Alpro :) So good!

I use a good quality rye bread or good quality pumpernickle. Very dense so you don't need much to feel satisfied! :)

This strategy does work really well :) It's easy to make a habit out of something tiny... and building it up little by little isn't too hard either. Before you know it you're a gym bunny ;) I actually read an article on this a while ago. It can be applied to a lot of things, not just weight loss! Any positive thing you…

If you have an Android phone, then you can download Google Fit to sync peripheries that don't sync directly with MFP. You just have to ensure the scale is Google Fit compatible and it should work as long as you have Google fit and MFP connected, with Google fit connected to the scale and other peripheries. EDIT: I also…

Love a good PB+J :) I don't make mine low calorie, but I use high quality ingredients so I feel really good about eating them! :heart:

You don't have a huge amount to lose and you're at a healthy weight so you really should be eating all your calories (and planning on eating a decent amount of calories as it is, especially as you are quite tall). I say make sure your calorie goal is big enough, then pre plan meals and snacks that meet that goal. Pack…

Hi :) It helps if you pre plan your meals with a decent amount to eat in all of them. You can pack lunch and snacks etc. Make eating enough a priority. Why are you counting calories at the moment?

Is your friend okay? That's a long time to be in such a big calorie deficit, especially with those extra restrictions and being so obsessive about food. I'd personally be worried about her mental health and talk to her about it.

Remember that it's literally their job to look like that :) You just do what's practical for you <3

Probably salt and vinegar chips! Although I haven't really been eating them recently :)

Hot chips!

Please talk to your treatment team about this. Having a six pack isn't healthy for many women- and having a goal like this one is exactly the kind of thing that can catapult you back into an eating disorder. If they agree that it is a good idea, you should do it with the close help of an ED therapist and an ED dietitian.…

I'm anemic :) I take iron supplements and Vitamin C supplements to help absorption. Make sure you don't drink tea or coffee around the time you take your supplements, it can harm the absorption.

I had already been slowly increasing, this was just the final increase to the weight gain plan x

Thank you :) Yes, I talked to her today and she says it's likely that I have delayed gastric emptying caused by years of restriction, which explains the feeling of being uncomfortably full. Unfortunately I stayed exactly the same weight as I was last week on this meal plan so I hope I gain a bit next week otherwise it…

Thanks for your input :) This meal plan is to gain weight in eating disorder recovery.

I honestly reckon I could get tired of anything in the right conditions (aka eating too much of something)

As someone with an eating disorder, this would be terrible to give to someone with bulimia. It may be technically safer than throwing up, but it would only serve to continue the binge/purge cycle, as for people with bulimia, purging needs to stop for binging to stop- and this is basically just another method of purging.…

I have a pretty simple and mainly healthy diet :) Feel free to add x

This is my meal plan (I hope it's vaguely clear): Breakfast: 1 serving carbs (eg two slices bread), 1 fat (eg 1/4 avocado or tbsp peanut butter), 1 calcium rich food (eg 200 ml soy milk) Morning snack: 1 serving fruit (I hardly ever manage to eat this one) Lunch (1 carb, 1 protein (eg, 200g tofu or beans, or 30g nuts/nut…

Thanks! :) The problem isn't the things I'm eating though (my meal plan is very specific as to what type of food and what amounts I'm meant to be eating- I don't have a specific calorie goal, I'm just meant to eat the things on my meal plan), it's the feelings of physical and mental discomfort from eating the things and…

I had 200g tofu cooked with soy sauce, a quarter of an avocado on rye bread, and a banana :) 543 calories :heart:

I pop it in the compost for the buggies :) I'm a bit of a germaphobe though. It just makes me uncomfortable. I'm sure it's actually fine for you- I just hate thinking about all the hands touching it in the supermarket :tongue: I'd totally eat it if I had grown it myself or a friend had grown it :)

As someone who also struggles with an eating disorder, I agree with maintaining and working on your relationship with food. You're a healthy BMI at the moment which is great- and if you want to do extra work on your body in future like building muscle, getting the binging under control now really is essential, so that you…

Hi! I also have depression and anxiety, in addition to an eating disorder :) Although I don't need to lose weight, I can relate to the struggles of having weight issues while also struggling with mental illness. *hugs*

How strange, that doesn't seem like a great dietitian- I can't see what he's basing his advice on. Would you be able to ask to be transferred to a different dietitian? You could just blame a personality clash or something. I personally go to a small team of two dietitians and they work from scientific evidence. If I asked…

Please don't do this. It's a bad idea because everyone has very different ideas about nutrition- different foods are demonised by different people, even though foods aren't inherently good or bad. The upshot of this is that different people will tell you to give up different foods from different food groups, potentially…
