One of my readers recommended this iPhone app that she said was very helpful in meal planning in recovery: MiMeals Meal Planning App. I don't have an iPhone and thus haven't checked it out, but I'm sharing in case it might be useful. I do my meal planning on scrap paper and old receipts, for the record. :)

About the study into straight and gay college aged men: where's their backing for the idea that body fat dissatisfaction is a risk factor? Might it not be a result OF eating disordered behaviours that had developed for other reasons? I would like to see studies on gay women as well...eating disorders are a big problem in the LGBT community, who face such a lot of stress through bullying and discrimination.
I like the article on fallacious health claims by food companies. I wish more people understood that most of those claims are manipulative marketing tools rather than being based on hard science.
Just found your blog, I am glad you are sharing your journey as I do wish somebody shared with me when I was trying to recover. Instead, there were a lot of silent moments because nobody knew how to talk to me and a lot of doctors were sent my way, creating a defense mechanism.
Once I recovered, I tried to go to some AN forums to share what I have gone through and called "betrayer" by anorexic girls because I started eating! Hope you reach out to many...
