Parents decided rapid gain needed when already physically healthy and discharged
I'm in a shit spot. Controlling parents read 1 paper and decided I need to be my pre-ed weight . I'm currently well within the healthy weight range btw
They've decided I need to get there ASAP. No idea why. All health indicators, apart from my cycle are fine.
My tdee (medically tested ) is concerningly low. And im inactive due to disability.
To do this, they are forcing me to eat almost double my maintenance at at home minimum (they're tracking. For me that's already <. And that would be without me eating any food between 8am and 4pm.
My question is - if I'm already in such a large surplus,how harmful is it for me to intermittent fasting between those hours? Particularly for trying to regain my cycle
. A surplus of this much is obviously good in UW people but I'm not. I'm also a high body fat % and it'll push it significantly higher and I'll just hate my body even more than I already do.
Also my parents will not budge on this. Don't even suggest discussion. I feel fucking hopeless. No we don't have a medical team, and no I can't get one.
