Answer to what is hunger?

Hunger comes when the body needs more energy. Like in recovery, people can eat and eat till they are more than full, but still want food. The stomach has not room enough to provide the body with the energy it needs. The stomach size is meant for normal eating. Not restricting and eating a lot. Just thinking about food is a signal of hunger. In recovery it's wise to eat calorie dense. The nerves needs to get their protection back, the protection of fat around the nerves the body ate up when we starved it, so eating a lot of fat is great, especially in the beginning (when many eat a lot of chocolate and nut butters.) I eat a lot of butter, eggs, cheese and chocolate because I crave it. It's nice to know nerves are healed while I am enjoying myself. Later in recovery when it's time to build muscles you will go from craving ultra processed food to crave processed food, meaning normal dinners. Later you will fancy raw food again, like apples and salads. Now I wouldn't touch that because there is no appetite for it. Trust the body! It knows what it needs so it knows what it wants. The appetite is the body telling you what it wants.

Food is nothing to fear. Food is a healing source for the body. The body we damaged by avoiding food. Don't listen to the fucked up psycho ED. Take you power back from this invisible whispering devil and be as good as you want to be to yourself and everybody. Take your freedom back! Don't let ED have you in the body prison any longer. You went in voluntarily! You can walk out voluntarily! It's a matter of choice between fear or care. Be brave!
