[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I frequently ate 1200 calories a day. When I was 20 and had disordered eating.

I would wake up, work out, drink coffee and water to stay full, eat a bowl of fruit maybe with yogurt, count a single serving of pretzels mid afternoon and measure a single serving of peanut butter to dip them in, eat another piece of fruit or raw veggie, and eat something like tons of veggies and a tiny piece of chicken for dinner, or a half serving of pasta with lots of broccoli and sauce. Then I'd eat a serving of fro yo with sugar free chocolate syrup and cool whip lite. If I knew I'd be drinking, I'd drink coffee and eat fruit and veggies only until dinner, which would be a 12' long subway sandwich with veggies only.

Those were very dark days. [/quote]

I’m the PP who is now 5’4’’ 123. I also had seriously disordered eating in college. I was 5’3.5’’ 105-110. I did not eat grains in any form. I only had coffee with Splenda (never real sugar), vegetables, fruit, and lean protein (like cold cuts). Hummus with the veggies was ok in limited quantities. I counted my calories and ensured that I burned off everything in the gym every day. If I was hungry, snacks were sugarfree gum, Granny Smith apples, and baby carrots. Fro yo with no toppings was ok. It got to the point where I actually developed that hair on my arms that comes from not having enough fat.

I still count my calories, but eat a much wider variety of foods now.
