  • I'm maintaining at a net of 1300-1500, but this is coming out of an eating disorder into recovery... If I net closer to 2000 like MFP says to do, will I gain obscene amounts of weight?

  • I was literally just wondering this! haha :) Wait, then if I want to maintain, should I still net my bmr? or above?

  • protein pancakes! you can find recipes online, and they're low-carb, low-fat, and high protein :) Also, homemade whole wheat bread is great fresh out of the oven (That's what I'm having now!)

  • So is the maintenance accurate? I'm 5'9", 131-133 pounds depending on how much sodium I eat the day before I weigh in ;) I'm 17 years old, and mfp has my maintenance calories set to 1950. Should I eat back exercise calories as well? I try to net at least 1200 a day (In recovery from anorexia, so this is a BIG deal!) and…

  • I am still in starvation mode, despite trying to get in a net of my BMR as often as I can. I haven't had a period since May. My bfp% is only around 17%, possibly lower, so I'm not sure when I'll get it back.

  • I pack all of my snacks and meals for the day in a small cooler, and only eat out of it :) If I have anything left in there at the end of the day, I can just add those calories to my dinner.

  • oh! And I sometimes make chai tea and and then use tea instead of water. It's yummy :) I bet you could do that with any flavor tea... it doesn't add any calories, but it adds some great antixoxidants!

  • change it up! I know I must sound hypocritical, because I eat exactly the same amount every day, but for real, your metabolism will be kicked into gear if you eat 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 1600, 1400, 1200 for a week. That's NET though! Don't go below 1200 net! (Again, hypocritical... sorry.) And if you change up your…
