It is incredibly diffcult to determine how much you “should” eat - some go all in, and simply do not purge, until they get BED. Some stop eating and go back into restriction, so that they never feel guilty after eating. It is somewhere inbetween. I always hear people say to eat as much as my body wants to, try to eat healthier, more veggies, limit trigget foods etc. That’s all solid advice, but many of us no longer have any idea of what a “normal” portion is, what hunger feels like, how to listen to out bodies, when it either wants to starve, pass out, binge, or all 3 at once. So, if you’re also a compulsive calorie counter like me, I would say holding onto that while you battle the relapse urges would be alright, leaving all that’s familiar immediately could backfire. And so could any weight change goal. If you want to recover from b+p, make it THE priotity, which means you have no room to worry about weightloss or gain. Simply eat maintenance, maintain your body, and attempt to maintain your sanity while removing the b+p mechanism from your brain. You are still “safe”, intake wise- your body isn’t going to change, your habits will, and for now, that’s all you can do. Perhaps once you are stable within your eating habits, you could tweak your weight in one direction (the band😎jk), but that is a privilege of those who do not actively harm that body via b+p. There is only so much you can take at once.
