I do a meal prepping service service that’s low budget that could help with this, reach out if interested!

As someone that also used to have an ED and is also working to lose weight right now, I give myself a minimum amount of calories and a maximum amount, so on a bad day I’m still getting what I need. Also, I would go for roughly 1lb/week (about 300-400cal less than maintenance) and do some weight lifting so your weight loss doesn’t rely on cardio. I promise you won’t get “bulky” if you’re in a deficit

Also on top of this, your digestive system and metabolism might be a little screwed up from your ED, and that’s perfectly alright. Mine definitely is. That being said, if you have to eat a little more or a little less on a few days to ensure you don’t get sick/pass out/etc, those days will not screw up your goals and they’re absolutely nothing to be ashamed about

We had the opposite ED 😅 I had binge. I’m not worried about a minimum. It’s the max that I’m terrified of passing.

I had both lol! Binge into Ana then back. But I also saw that you lost weight unhealthily before, so I figured I could give tips in case those behaviors started wanting to creep back. I also forgot to mention my goal cals sit somewhere in between my min and max, so it’s not just one or the other. You got this!
