Many active people (women included) eat 3000+ calories a day and stay plenty lean.
The recommended daily calorie intake is 2000 for women and 2500 for men.
The recommended daily calorie intake for weight loss is 1500 for women and 2000 for men.
A 5-year-old needs about 1400 calories or more every day.
The minimum daily calorie intake for a long-term diet without medical supervision is 1200 for women and 1800 for men. Eating less than that eventually leads to starvation mode (a real–yes, real–state of biological stress characterized by decreased metabolism, increased cortisol production, and heart, brain, organ, bone, and muscle damage).
A 2-year-old needs about 1000 calories or more every day.
Most people can’t even imagine eating 1000 calories in a day. You’ll get 1,357 Google results if you search for the exact phrase “1000 calories is way too low” or “1000 calories is way too little”…but you’ll get even more results if you Google the same phrases for 1200 calories, because few people consider dipping below 1200.
A 3-digit daily calorie intake puts you at high risk for binge-eating, slowed metabolism, bone and muscle loss, nutritional deficiencies, gastrointestinal issues, infertility, hair loss, mood swings, and depression. Oh–and sudden death.
900 calories is less than what a completely sedentary, 5'0", 80 lb, 70-year-old woman burns daily (keeping in mind that your metabolism slows with age).
A very low calorie diet, also known as a starvation diet, is 800 calories a day or less. It is prescribed by doctors to obesity patients who need to lose weight quickly, is specially formulated to be nutritionally complete, and is monitored by medical professionals to prevent sudden cardiac arrest and death. It is considered an extreme diet.
600 calories a day or less is literal starvation.
500 calories is less than the daily calorie needs of the average 1-month-old.
400 calories is less than the daily calorie needs of the average newborn.
300 calories is less than what the adult brain alone burns every day.

You are not less of a man because you have panic attacks. You are not less of a man because you have anxiety. You are not less of a man for having depression. You are not less of a man for having a mental illness. Period.

a part of me thinks that if edblr lived together we would be unstoppable, and another part of me is rational.
we'd be funny but also walking hazards for the most part
speech
Depression
Anxiety
Suicidal thoughts
Scars
Self hate
Body mobifications (piercings, tattoos, etc)
Eating disorder
PTSD
OCD
Personality disorder(s)
Or anything else that society sees as “bad” or “unworthy of love” because everybody matters and needs love
Please make this go viral.
It is so important I don’t even care if you delete what I write here, just help it be seen.
Hate myself for these numbers
reblog if you aren’t in recovery and dont want to recover but you still support recovery and think people should recover
hello, random anon floating throughout the ed tumblr community to remind every single one of y’all of how proud i am of you. i not too long ago was in your exact spot and it truly is one of the most brutal things, dealing with an ed of any sort. i’m not going to waste my time by telling you to leave this unbelievably toxic community as it is something we all have to learn by ourselves. i just wanted to pop in and say that i see how much pain you are in. your suffering is not in vain. no matter your cw, sw, gw, or the duration of your ed, your disorder is just as valid and deserves as much love and care as everyone else. weather everyone around you has noticed or no one has, i see you and your pain. it’s not easy surviving this far and you should be so unbelievably proud of yourself. i know i am. just please keep hanging in there. give yourself a bit of a break. you deserve it after all you’ve been though. hopefully you start recovery sooner rather than later, but that’s up to you. i cannot wait for you to find peace within that you oh so deserve to have. i see you and i’m proud of you <3.
Thank you for the kind message Anon 🖤
