How much weight gain is healthy during recovery from anorexia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cannot say in: a particular case. The one anorexic/bulemic I've seen was overweight (not typical). certainly checking BMI would give some guidance. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm
