During eating disorder recovery, a balanced meal plan should include foods from every group, including lean proteins, starches and whole grains, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and dairy. Each food group provides essential energy and nutrients for your body to recover and stay healthy.
You may also think of specific nutrients that can help your body recover. For example, bone health often declines during eating disorders, so focusing on calcium-rich foods like yogurt, kale, and chia seeds can be beneficial.
