Did I eat too much today?

[Anonymous]

I've been recovering from an Eating Disorder in the past few months and after counting calories for many years, I've decided to try eating intuitively. Does this look like too much or too little food?

Pictured above:

Air fried potatoes with portabello mushrooms (melted cheese on top) and eggplant dip
Veggie burger with some avocado and mustard
Sparkling ice and just about 2 squares of dark chocolate

If you are recovering I want to suggest keeping this question in a healthier space, with trusted friends, family, doctors who know and care about you. There are too many careless comments thrown around here.

i think no.. instead you were trying to be healthy with what you can do. i'm glad☺️

[lilaccc]

i mean your portion of food looks normal to me too, so its not a little, and not too much.

I mean... this also depends on how tall you are.

I'd recommend eating a bit more.

I removed unnecessary calorie bombs

Are you serious? Carbs aren't the devil. The drink Is actually calorie free and I only ever drink it occasionally. And there's nothing wrong with having some dark chocolate. Unless you're a Keto advocate (which isn't a diet you can sustain in the long run), I don't see how removing so many things would be healthy, especially for the sake of maintaining decent energy levels, bodily functions, and mental health. Solely eating the foods you didn't cross out would put me at an unnecessary calorie deficit that would be way below my BMR, which is unsustainable. And for the record, I'm no where close to being overweight, so thanks for the suggestion.
