Question: How to assess the risk of re-feeding syndrome?

Hi. So I am in recovery from Anorexia and have been lapsing for about the last 3.5 months. I have been trying to sustain an 'adequate' intake as I am 100% pro recovery but I have been struggling mentally a lot!

My intake has been slowly slipping and recently my intake has slid to 8-900kcals per day for the last 2 weeks.

I appreciate that this isn't that low, nor have I been eating below 1000kcals for very long so I didn't know whether I need to worry about re-feeding syndrome or not? Do I need to be monitored by a doctor with regular bloods and staggered increases (as I did in treatment)?or would it be safe to just implement a full meal plan myself without medical support? -I have a meal plan from treatment with which to use.



Any advise would be much appreciated, thank you. :) x
