Question
Hi, My name is Polly and I am currently doing a assignment on Anorexia and I have a question.

What types of meals could you suggest someone with Anorexia to get better.

Answer
That all depends on the severity of the disease because when someone's anorexic the dietician prepares a meal plan for that particular person that's followed by the cook staff if someone's in treatment. Usually it's smaller portion meals because eating all of a sudden can shock the body and cause complications. The meals are balance between fruits, veggies, and grains that are easily digestable with a small amount of fats and dairy.
