Recovery food choices
Hi guys. I am early into recovery and I have a lot of mass to gain. However, I am eating in a surplus and not actually gaining anything. Which seems crazy because when I was restricting, the scales would fluctuate a lot more! I am dedicated to recovery and want to gain weight to restore my period etc but I am also fearful of gaining just body fat. Does anyone else relate to this? I know this is my ED brain talking and that I do need to build fat AND muscle. I am prioritising more whole foods and protein (protein yog, eggs, chicken etc) and making healthy food choices, whilst also eating good calorie dense foods. I am not quite ready to eat junk food just yet. I do eat protein bars and have a couple of digestive biscuits a day as part of my snacks. I am hitting my carbs, fats and protein macros pretty well and so far haven't had any extreme hunger but I am sure that will come. Can anyone comfort me that I am or aren't doing the right thing? Or does it actually matter what 'type' of foods i even eat, because the weight needs to go on one way or another right?
Thank you
