In order to gain with all of this exercise I am thinking you are going to need closer to 3000/3500 calories. Honestly though, the best thing for my ED recovery was seeing a dietitian. I am sure since you are a collegiate athlete the school would offer these services free for you. I would reach out to the dietitian for…

Just thought I would say since you are blessed with a dietitian (wish I had the money to see one again) why not ask her? She could give you better advice on how to get to the 3000.

Oh and thanks for all your hard work teaching :)

I've had this issue to. Needing to eat b-fast on bus or in car I like doing cereal with nuts mixed in (in fact put in freezer day before because like my cereal cold)...you could mix in dried fruit too if you wanted? Waffle sandwich (either PB and banana, or egg whites and veg) English muffin with veggie sausage and cheese…

Anyone? Also should I feel guilty after spending all this money and worrying my family all I have is paralyzed stomach?

Thanks everyone

And with the intrusive thoughts...the meal plan helped with that too. Because I knew what I needed to eat so when mind got going or said I was too lazy to eat or whatever..I just said...nope this is my meal plan, I am just eating my meal plan. I have ignored hunger so long I need to honor it even when I just think its…

I think therapy is the best way to help with your anxiety. I have same issues when anxiety gets high. I just..."forget" to eat. But being in recovery from anorexia i just can't skip meals. I worked with a dietitian and got a meal plan and when I couldn't remember to eat I used an app on my phone called Recovery Record that…

Working out can make you less hungry. It does me. I am in recovery from anorexia and honestly hunger didn't hit till I exercised less and ate more. Sounds crazy, but when you don't eat your body just decided not to bother anymore with signals to eat. I mean, if you are not gonna eat...why waste the energy is what your body…

Mustard and sugar free jelly is best spread ever. Put it on bagel with piece of lettuce!

No definite ideas for you but was wondering...why not bring some dishes to share? Like sides for burgers (which aren't unhealthy anyway) or maybe bring turkey/veggie burgers. Maybe offer to bring deli meats and veg for lunch sandwiches. Then others can you know add mayo or chips or cookies or whatever, but you can keep…

Well I am recovering from anorexia so I have weird food habits galore....and I've had a disorder since I was 6 years old and was raised by an anorexic mom. Didn't even know my behaviors were weird till I went to college. If things are different colors I eat by color. After I toast things I seal them in plastic bags. I…

Dannon Light and Fit which I am sure other people have suggested. I don't know if its healthiest because to me any greek yogurt would be healthy. I mean it's Greek yogurt, not a chocolate bar (which can be part of a healthy diet too). Here are some flavors I love: Toasted coconut: taste like vanilla icing Vanilla Key lime:…

I like Breyer's fat free but it's fro-yo if that okay

Yeah I downloaded Libra and have been using that and its starting to make me learn and realize weight isn't linear as I had thought. It's so hard letting a body by a body and fluctuate because I am so used to controlling it. I guess I will just have to wait till Wed and see what happens then. Who knew skipping just one day…

Basically just need to know whether I can use Wed weigh-in to trust foods from today or can only use it to judge foods from day before?

Planet Hollywood is where me and my family ate on our first trip to NYC. Well first non-mission trip. When dad was first dating stepmom and we travelled to meet the family. Was AWESOME and really cool experience.

And yes I know not healthy cereal...so please don't comment on that.

I just graduated but luckily this year got as a gift from my dad a mini fridge with a full mini freezer so that helped. Before that I would pre-cook chicken/fish or do canned tuna for protein. There are also egg whites and/or turkey dogs. Starch wise anything goes really. Bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, frozen peas/corn,…

Grape jelly on potatoes...it's good stuff people! Anyone else put chips on their sandwiches?

Wow you both are AMAZING! I did some more journaling and came to realize it has a lot to do with the recent and sudden loss of my dad. I just hate to lose people and have been clinging to all relationships and trying to be perfect to not make anyone mad or hurt anyone so they leave. I feel like these relationships I can…

I think it depends on the person, but I think if you have struggled to gain weight for some time or are someone who forgets to eat planning is best...but you can always wean off. Maybe start and plan out week in advance/days in advance (what I used to do) Then just plan day before Then morning of Then maybe won't have to?

Fiber one makes tasty products Also in frozen veggie section frozen cooked squash Lentils are good Vitatops

also today did cinnamon raisin bagel with dijon mustard! Sooo good. Also cinn raisin with guac is good.

It's my go-to lunch now. Just go to supermarket in frozen food section where frozen veg are and they should have a square thing called cooked squash. Great fiber source. I eat the whole thing, but I pour some of it on a tortilla with tuna and a bit of spinach in it and press it in George Foreman.

Thank you both for your responses. I am just trying to learn the right number of rest days and right combo of strength and cardio, but just for future reference to cpt....it's not okay to tell someone who is recovering that they are doing a horrible job. You don't know how far I have come and how much asking others advice…

Anyone?

They have fat free pringles which are lower cal and trust me...you won't overdo it because they tear up your stomach! Here are some other ideas too: Homemade kale/pita/tortilla chips (use corn tortilla) Homemade zuchinni chips http://vittlesandbits.blogspot.com/2012/03/baked-zucchini-chips.html Butternut squash chips…

I love PB& Co peanut butter its SOO good. Also, JIFF has a new Whips that is S'mores flavor! AMAZING!

Thanks everyone :) Dinner after it is
