Please state if you are male or female and the amount of calories you consume per day. I'm in recovery had an eating disorder and I would like to find out how many calories normal,average peole consume. Thanks in advance
I think you're over thinking it.
Just have some breakfast, have some lunch and have some dinner. If you finish all your greens you get desert.
That's not always really possible for somebody who's recovering from an eating disorder. If I did that without counting, I'd take in about 300 to 500 calories a day. It's a bit like telling an insomniac "You're over thinking it. Just sleep at night and stay awake in the day."
Also, depending on the disorder, dessert is not necessarily a reward.
I am male. Ever since I moved back to Scotland I have started eating and drinking more. I am on the route of becoming fat, which I noticed a while back and lessened how much I was eating, mainly drinking (drinks of a lot of sugar).
I need to cut down more, eat healthy, and so on.
I used to drink quite a lot of luzozade (tastes awesome), which is the main cause. Changed it to Orange Juice.
I eat quite a bit. I think it wouldn't be as bad if I didn't stop exercising.
No idea how many calories a day specificly.
I eat 1400 a day, but it varies a lot. I'm recovered from an eating disorder too, and I can go anywhere from 800 to 2300 a day, but I eat mostly on average 1400, and more like 1800-2000 if I do a lot of exercise :)
For the average adult male, I believe the recommended is 2000 a day and females are slightly less I believe at 15-1600. Although if you're recovering from a eating disorder, it may be better to start off a bit lower and work your way up.
Best of luck!
I'm a male, average size, and I really don't give 2 shits about calories.
I don't know The exact amount, but I'm certain that it's less than the daily acquired amount Which I believe is 2000 calories. Heck, I probably don't even hit the 1000th mark either. I'm a female and currently recovering from a ED:)
Didn't your doctors give you guidelines?
I'm female and on a normal day of low activity I may only eat 1200 calories. If I'm riding my bike a lot I'll consume 1500-1700. If I don't enough food I think I might fall of my bike.
I'm not sure the calories but it changes. I'll just tell you what I ate/ am going to eat today. This morning I had coffee. Went to work and came home and poured myself cranberry juice. It's still sitting on the table. XP I get distracted and forget to eat. I'll probably have a sandwich&chips or noodles or a hotdog in a bit.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE to eat. I just happened to not today. I don't recommend you take my eating habits into consideration.
-Female
My intake is pretty abnormal so I wouldn't go by what I consume. On some days, I'm still only up to a few calories by 8pm (caffeine-free diet coke and sugar-free gum).
Today, I've eaten like a pig. Two litres of fruit juice, three litres of premium strength beer, two slices of wholemeal toast, a little Red Leicester, a mushroom vindaloo (still suffering), a roti (only half eaten because it went cold and hard), a small salad with mint raitha, seven shots of Southern Comfort, a squashed Clementine, and two handfuls of Bombay Mix.
I'm going to have to tot that up now because I didn't keep score as I was going along.
Crap - I'm up to 900 just from the fruit juice. Okay, sum total for the day is 3950 calories. But I have eaten way more than normal today and I normally eat more at weekend anyway.
Average for a week is about 16000, so about 2300 a day. Oh, and I'm male.
I am female and it depends a lot on my mood and how busy I am. I dont count them but id guess anything between 600 and 1500. Sometimes i go a week without eating anything.
