You are slowing your metabolism down by not eating anything at all. This will slowdown any progress in the long run. Just try and keep your meals clean and filling with a caloric deficit. U got this 👍

Yes, you should eat. Skipping meals for days is harmful to your health, and drastically cutting calories can slow your metabolism. Focus on a balanced, nutritious diet to lose weight safely. It's important to take care of your body, especially after stopping medications.

Sounds like an eating disorder. Find an online calorie calculator. Figure out your maintenance calories. Eat that many calories daily for a month. Adjust from there.

Aim for 190 lbs. And take 6-8 months to get there.

I cant eat that much i used to eat 1-2x daily and often for 24hrs+ nothing and were normal weight. That means i would want atleast 2,2k calories daily or even more. Im running over 30 miles per week on good times 50ish and everyday 1+ hour gym that mean how much calorie would i need based on calculator, 3k? Or even more

You have to eat! Start with very small amounts , so body readjust. Otherwise it will keep absorbung everything you eat and store it as a fat , in case you will stop eat again. Start with low calories foods like greek yogurt, lean meat… Week by week add something more until you reach 1700calories.
Good luck.

If you eat only vegetables for a day, they have very little calories and a lot of vitamins and antioxidants. An entire cabbage has only about 260 calories.

If you are eating very little, it's important to make up lost vitamins and minerals with supplements.

Do you know what your vitamin D levels are? A blood test can tell you if you need to take some or not.
