A member asked:
I believe im anorexic i ate 3000 calories today trying to recover. is that good?

I don't know: If you mean anorexia nervosa, it would be uncommon to willingly eat that many calories in a day without also purging in some other way. Consistent, healthy, gradual eating is better than all at once. A comprehensive program with psychiatrist, therapist, and family physician will allow you to uncover and deal with unhealthy eating behaviors and their triggers.
