In my case it was inpatient treatment & they gave you only so long to gain enough weight so that you could go home. I am GUESSING the higher calories may have to do with a time allocation for gaining & related to insurance limitations.

Phosphate Blood Test: Purpose, High vs. Low vs. Normal Levels

I was in the medical hospital so many times with my anorexia.....years ago now. Can't remember blood test results....but I do remember the central lines & the IV nutrition I had. Not good but it was necessary.

I live alone now on my own little farm so I watch my eating & staying healthy because I need energy to move bales of hay & 50 lb bags of feed. Unfortunately my life before now was so stressful that was what made the ED into what it became. Glad to have it behind me now & it definitely was not the treatment that helped me. For me it was finally gaining control of my life so I didn't feel that I had to control what I didn't eat.
