Hi there Brittany,

I know exactly what you're going through as I went through the same thing several years ago and still deal with it regularly. Its a tough battle but I'm glad to here that you're getting through it. :) You should be proud of yourself for taking the steps to get better and begin a healthier lifestyle.

If I were you I would eat every 2-3 hours, which would make between 5-7 meals instead of the usual 3. By eating this often your metabolism will stay revved all day.

As typical meal for should be a balance of carbs and protein. You could eat 6 meals a day with 300 calories a meal. This seems like a lot but its really not. That will keep you from going back into starvation mode and will keep your metabolism revved.

I hope this helps. Please ask more questions if you have any.
