A member asked:
What amount of calories should a 17 year old recovering anorexic eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Upon the height and recommended body weight. This is an important issue to discuss with a nutritionist, a primary care physician and a therapist expert working with teens with eating disorders. Increasing calories are a part of resuming healthy eating. Therapy and support can increase success in recovering from anorexia.
