eating disorder
weight loss near starvation. Less than 1000 calories per day for years. Should she try to eat 5 times per day, 600 calories (her max intake) with 40% protein as a basic recovery model?

Welcome, @valentynas. Eating disorders are serious health conditions that affect both physical and mental health. The best treatment for an eating disorder involves a team approach. The team commonly includes your primary health care provider, a mental health professional and sometimes a registered dietitian.

Many people with eating disorders may not think they need treatment. One of the main features of many eating disorders is not realizing how severe the symptoms are.
Has her eating disorder been diagnosed by a doctor? Is she willing to seek treatment?
