I am a recovering anorexic/bulimic...I am 5'8" and 125 lbs..I was down to 84 lbs. this winter and nearly died..after being in rehab twice I am now up to 125 and want to maintain it there...I work out every day, at least an hour in the gym and weights every other day. I do 40 minutes on the elliptical and usually go for walks daily which vary in length...So with keeping this activity level in mind, I am wondering how many calories would I need to maintain this...I still have problems with throwing up and I tend to restrict but am working towards stopping the behaviours because theyre ruining my life...I am currently eating around 1800-2000 calories a day and burning about 400 in the gym...any help would be appreciated...and how much protein should I take in..I want to tone up..so any advice with diet and exercise would be appreciated..thanks!
