I think there is no comparison between your and other's diet. But, if you think you are eating lesser than others, then start increasing your diet a little everyday. That will help your body to push to eat.

I think that the first step is to refocus the energy you place on things such maintaining/losing your weight, conforming to societal standards of "beauty"/"perfection", and having control over some aspect of your life, into something that brings you joy and peace. Once you come to terms with the person you are naturally and accept/forgive yourself, you can more easily return to that that of heathy thinking/eating habits we consider to be normal. It is important not to push yourself too hard on this- especially if you are still struggling with associating guilt and shame with eating. Take it slow and respect your limits one day at a time.

Just set yourself a goal of things to eat each day and prepare yourself meals and this should help you.

The first step is to work with the problem, what's the reason you don't eat as normal people do. After you've found that out, you need to work with that, and that might be hard, especially if you have to do it alone. I would recomend you to talk to someone, maybe get help and then look at and work with the problem about why you don't eat as normal people do.

Eating normally is something that takes a long time to work up to, especially if you have an eating disorder. Getting support is really important, whether that be a friend, family member, therapist, or even your dog. It's important to be patient and gentle with yourself, and not to get angry if you slip up. Messing up is normal and natural. Start small, ask for help when you need it. You'll get there.

this is a great question, because it shows you are committed to imoving your situation. being overly focused on caloric intake is not the way to better eating habits. keeping in mind that you need nutrients, and regular intervals of food intake throughout the day, plan meals ahead of time and set alarms at meal times if you think that will help you. the key is finding balance.
