Refeeding, metabolic rate, and weight gain in anorexia nervosa: a review

Article Abstract:

The relationship between refeeding, metabolic rate and weight gain in anorexics is investigated. The results show that the number of calories required for weight gain increases in direct proportion to the patient's body weight. More than 50% of body mass gained by anorexics is in the form of fat tissue. Prior bulimic symptoms and premorbid body weight have an influence on calorie requirements.
