im currently on the 11 day fast, but when i was on that 300 cal thing, its not like i was starving myself. I was just finding the healthiest foods in the world, eating smaller portions, and keeping it under 300 calories, while trying to use exercise to burn it off. i know the intake is low. but i wasnt starving or binging or purginf or any of that shit.
A diet normally consists of 1500 calories. Calories are not arbitrary numbers. There is a specific amount you need for your body to be healthy. If you don't get that amount, you are doing damage. You may not feel it, but there is damage being done.

1500

Five times what you were eating.

Five times what you were eating is generally the minimum amount of calories a person should intake. Five times. Don't even pretend this is an issue where you have leeway. Especially burning it off afterward. You know your body needs calories for everything, right? Sleeping, reading, sitting, walking, thinking. If you exercise off 300 calories, you're out for the rest of everything you ever do.

No, you weren't binging/purging, because that would be bulimia. What you were doing was textbook anorexia, which again is an eating disorder for a reason, not because it is a perfectly healthy thing to do.
