I'm worried I've ended up with an eating disorder
I used MFP a lot over the last 18 months or so on and off to help track what I'm eating and lose weight but largely stopped when I became able to roughly guess what I need to be eating. I actually need to start gaining weight again now after losing a lot, I ate what I thought was going to be enough to do that and a week…

sleeping more than normal?
I've been sleeping a lot more than normal over the last week or so (exams are over so I am just because I can!). It occured to me today though that sitting in bed or sleeping more than normal will obviously mean I burn less calories. does anyone know how I can try to factor that into just how much less I should be eating?…
