All the symptoms you listed are also signs of malnutrition and dehydration as well....

I've had FB since around 2004 as well when it was still only allowed for people in college and verification of an .edu email account was required. I have too many real friends and contacts from every aspect of my life to really consider permanently deleting it because I only am able to keep up with them via facebook. A lot…

I'm 31 and have had anorexia since I was 11. Until I was 18 it was mostly restrictive anorexia although I did purge on occasion but didn't binge. When I went to college, I started really binging and purging because I became very good at purging but officially diagnosed with anorexia binge/purge subtype because of my…

basically anything carbs: crackers boxed cereal scones (I love the very berry scones from whole foods-- which are NOT on MFP unfortunately) pretzel rolls soft pretzels most breads. cookies anything baked I really can't keep any of this type of stuff at my house because I will end up eating many/multiple servings at a time…

I consider fast food to be anything from a drive thru type of place or basically anything from any type of chain restaurant since all that stuff is mostly pre cooked and loaded with additives. I travel halfway across Missouri twice a week and so have lunch out at least on those days. I usually get lunch from Whole Foods…

I wouldn't recommend them at all. The OTC pills really don't work and the prescription ones are dangerous and can cause severe electrolyte deficiencies. Furthermore, if you start taking them, you will have to keep taking them because when you stop, your body will hang on to water again as a rebound effect. Unless you have…

I usually have a big salad with maybe 3 cups of lettuce mix, one chopped whole tomato, some red onion, 1 tbsp. capers, 1 cup mushrooms, 2-3 tbsp. salad dressing (90-120 cal dressings per 2 tbsp.) with either naked quorn or a veggie burger or an ounce of chopped full fat cheese or some grilled chicken or a big vegetable…

My lowest weight as an adult was 78 pounds and that was last year. I have a long history of anorexia. 5'5". I've gained a lot of weight since then because of treatment and am currently at my target weight which is bmi 19. I would like to lose down to 95 pounds which is where I am obviously too thin but I can deal with it…

Eating disorder treatment is hard to come by. There aren't a lot of professionals who treat eating disorders and sometime even the ones who say that they specialize in it are not that educated. It's extremely frustrating. I live in mid-Missouri and travel 2 hours west to St. Louis for therapy and to see a medical physician…

hi! I just joined this group too.

I'm new to this group and haven't had a chance to look around at all but have been using MFP for a few years very consistently-- I'm 31 and had AN b/p type since I was 11. Well mostly just restricting severely until I was 18 and since then AN b/p type. I have been in many hospitals and treatment centers but have only been…

PMed you

Never tried this but what about getting corn tortillas and baking them in the oven? The break apart into chips add salt spices or brush with olive oil prior. I'd be curious how that would turn out

Thank you guys for the responses. I have cut back on my portion sizes of fruits and vegs but would like to increase again. I'm just afraid.

Thanks so much guys!

Thanks thisismeraw. I would imagine it's water weight too especially since I haven't eaten fruits and vegetables for quite some time out of fear of the bulk. I do know it's water but I want to know how long it'll take to regulate. I also suffer from gastroparesis which means food transit time out of my stomach and through…

Yeah it is odd but that's what I call lunch. I eat vegetables for bfast, fruit for lunch and protein for dinner. I do have an eating disorder so I know this is disordered. Overall I can keep my calories really low if I keep my diet mostly fruits and vegetables. I don't think it's odd to eat a pound of strawberries at once.…

I found at my local kroger grocery store as well as walmart have these to go items that are trays of veggies and fruits with nuts or peanut butter, pretzels, various dips. They range from 200-250 calories each. Not sure how much you aim calorically for lunch maybe a bit more but you could always add something else like a…

I only have one friend on myfitnesspal and its someone I know locally. She hardly ever logs in. My feed consists of only my stuff so please all of you add me to. I'm 30 female. Was a vegan for a long time but it didn't do any favors for my health. Got really quiet sick and broke my femur while running as a result of…

I think the values MFP gives are too generic. Everybody's metabolism is different and is going to vary on too many factors. 1500 is too low for that much activity. You are going to slow your metabolism. If you are male, which I am assuming you are from your picture, you could probably eat 300-500 more and still low weight…

Are you talking about your BMR? Basal Metabolic Rate? And if so, how was it measured? Did you actually have it measured with a machine? I've had that done where you breathe in and out into a machine and then a trainer inputs your weight, height, age, etc. and it calculates how much energy you need just for basic functions.…
