the 500 calories, is a lot more than what many are eating as it is, so by
upping it to 500 its a better plan, that having 100 - 200 cals. Many people
i know through the support group my friend went to before she passed away,
see them as a step in the recovery.

Barbara, thank you for the condolences, its really difficult. But i souround
myself with many kind people that care, and it helps :-)

if you were supportive of those trying to overcome the
disease you would want them to try to keep *over* 1000
calories. Why on earth would anyone want to "stick under 500
calories" unless they were anorexic?

Totally! 2100 calories a day is normal for maintaining a healthy
weight.
