Hi Guys,
So I was thinking of some tolls that would have really helped me, that have really helped me, and one of the ones that would have been most useful would have been a collection of recipes, for all meals AND snacks, some high calorie, some not, and healthy ones as well - I've often noticed that a huge clash between families comes because parents/others believe the recoverer should just eat cake and that it what the recoverer often doesn't want to do! Also, where possible, if these recipes also had calories per servings - if I'd had something like that I could have coked with my mother and gradually released some control in the kitchen, compromising between knowing, and adding it all myself. I also thought any experiences that people were willing to share would be good and helpful, let people know that, above all, they're Not Alone. And then I thought, because I only stumbled on this forum and website, that if people were to volunteer this, I'd compile it, and send it all to b-EAT (UK nat, eating disorders help organisation), and they could post it as a resource, and it would be a really good help for other people.
SO, if people want to put recipes and experiences on this forum that's great...if you want to message me them that's great as well, you can remain anonymous or not as you wish!
Thanks for all your help guys!
P.S. Is it possible to make this topic a sticky so people can get to it easily? ta!

kayla, whats the site? x
I don't have exact calorie counts, but if you calculate it & it's too low then they're very easy to raise.
Buffalo Quesadilla (I just ate this and it was delicious. also vegetarian friendly)
2 wheat tortillas [you can find some very high cal ones out there]
Morningstar veggie buffalo wings [you can use as many as you want, really]
Montery Jack cheese [I used 1/2 cup, which was 220 cals]
Blue Cheese dressing [my brand had 150 cals per 2 tbsp]
Cook the buffalo wings according to directions (they bake so much better in the oven than microwave and are much crispier), then cut up into smaller pieces and toss in a baggie with the blue cheese until coated (if I don't do this then the wings are too spicy!). Then heat a skillet and put the wings, along with the cheese into it and cook until the tortilla is crispy, then flip and cook the other side. I used cooking spray, but you could use a little oil in the pan to brown the tortilla if you really wanted instead. I ate it with a little lettuce on the side and the leftover blue cheese from the baggie. Awesome.
Strawberry Milkshake (nothing very 'special' about it, but it's really good)
Packet of strawberry Carnation Instant Breakfast powder
1/2-2/3 cup milk
1 cup vanilla ice cream
Strawberry syrup
Put it all in a blender. Go. haha
as I said before, these recipes are VERY easy to tweak to make them more caloric, just add more of something, lol.
