People with eating disorders: What does your average daily diet consist of?


I'm doing a class issue surrounding biology and PSE and I am studying eating disorders. I want to collect a few food diary samples from people with various eating disorders, be it anorexia, bulimia, COE, anorexia athletica etc.
Thanks :)

At this point, I'd have to say that I have EDNOS. Some days I'll binge and purge, other days I'll restrict or fast, other days it'll be combination.

Today, I've had a medium-sized pear and I'm planning to have a half a cup of egg whites with a little bit of broccoli.
A few days ago I didn't eat anything until about 7 pm. I ended up binging and purging on a plate of pasta and garlic bread.
(I should mention that I usually drink things that have little to no calories like water, diet coke, unsweetened tea,etc.)

A few years ago the maximum amount of calories I would eat was 600, and if I reached 600 calories I would've counted it as a binge. It didn't really matter what I ate at the time so long as it was under 600 cal.

(I guess I should mention that I'm trying to recover. ^-^ )

I'm currently recovering from anorexia athletica and nervosa, but before I was diagnosed and forced into recovery, I was eating around 300 calories a day and a typical daily diet for me would be:

Breakfast:
About half a portion of cereal (100ish kcal)

Lunch:
An apple (40 kcal)

Dinner:

Small bowl of salad (about 40 kcal)
Fat free yogurt (50 kcal)
an orange (30 kcal)

I would do an hour of running, 1000 star jumps, 100 sit ups and 100 press ups every day and 10 hours of figure skating training a week as well as swimming 2000 metres every Saturday. This went on for about 3 months before my mum took me to a doctor would said I was dangerously emanciated (my BMI was in the low 13s) and I was admitted into a hospital for a week, during which I nearly died.

Good luck with your project and if you have any more questions that you think I could help with then I'm happy to e-mail you. Hope this helps :-)

I am fine now, but I don't think anyone with an eating disorder would tell you. Usually they don't realise they have it - or they do know, but just deny it!

Anyway, I used to eat one meal a day. I would skip breakfast and lunch and take a concoction of vitamin pills and gallons of water instead, and then I'd have a very small portion of whatever the family meal was that night. If my parents weren't in then I'd eat an apple or a carrot and drink loads of water. But at the time I was just 'dieting', I didn't realise there was anything wrong until a friend pointed it out to me.

I'm bulimic. Usually in the morning I have a yogurt and some fruit, then a salad for lunch and then end up binging/ purging about 2000 calories + on things like bread, chocolate, biscuits, crisps.

Other days I don't eat anything without purging it up, such as today. :/

I refuse to admit to anything but people think i have a disorder in that way.
Usually:
6 pieces of sugarfree gum (28kcal)
dinner (it varies) (usually 300-450kcal)
minerales/drinks (20kcal or less)
snacks (if i take them-one a day max.) (below 150kcal)

I have been suffering from anorexia for a while now, and my daily diet is usually:
Low calorie porridge (184kcal)
and a small baked potato (approximately 230kcal)
Hope this helped you.

Hiya,
I've had a eating disorder for 4 years and my daily limit is anything from, 0-800 calories, 800 calories on a 'bad' day.

I'm anorexic, and I eat only pretzel sticks. You might think this sounds funny or I'm kidding, but I'm serious. I drink water, too though.
