I know a lot of pro-recovery blogs don't like to talk about calorie counting - but could you suggest what's a healthy range for an active person to eat? I'm trying to recover and still suffer from restricting tendencies so I freak out when I have higher intakes...but if I eat primarily non-processed foods it's going to be okay right? I just need some moral support :(

Hi! First off - it’s awesome you’re choosing recovery. Seriously, you’re fab.
Second - it’s really difficult to say as I don’t know anything about you, but I’d say 2000 calories as a minimum, perhaps more for a particularly active day. Primarily non-processed foods in that quantity is okay, of course! Your body will thank you for it, you’ll have so much energy and be able to tackle your active activities with far more gusto! :D
I think you’re stellar, anon. If you want more help feel very free to send another ask my way. xx
