eat plenty? work up from your current calorie intake 200-300 every 2-3 days until you reach 2500-3000

also don't work out while you're so underweight, you'll just create a whole host more problems for yourself, I was working out masses while I was on weight gain and I just ended up badly injured and not recovering at all

When is it safe to exercise normally again?

I really couldn't say, it depends on the person really, as I said I exercised pretty much throughout my weight gain except for a short time where I was on crutches after getting stress fractures - I think in general most people would say you should be at BMI 18.5 minimum (although you should still be eating enough to gain more than this), confident you can eat back the calories you burn, not showing any symptoms of malnourishment (e.g. anaemia etc), and females should be getting their period

be aware when you start exercising you will be more prone to injury as your muscles will not be properly developed or as well rounded as you've starved them all away, you should also start very gently so as not to put too much stress on your body which is still recuperating

if you've been considerably underweight or under nourished you should really get a doctor to clear you for exercise as you want to be sure your heart/bones/rest of your body will cope

I'm not properly anorexic. I usually weigh 72kg 5 foot 9 male, but haven't eaten well for about 7 months and now weigh 62kg. I was thinking of exercising normally once I'm at 70kg. when i wasnt eating, i was getting about 1000 - 1500 a day, but since I've started eating normally again, I am eating about 3500 a day huge proper meals.
I did get pains at the front right of my head/brain when I was skipping meals, so really worried that I've messed up my brain power or something.

well starvation can cause your brain to shrink and if you are massively carb depleted it wont have the glucose required to function properly, I doubt you've seriously damaged it long term it is likely to be headaches relating to malnutrition that you've experience (although I'm obviously not a doctor!)

I'd say what you're suggesting sounds good, you'd be around your pre-ED weight which is likely where your body will naturally sit, it's good you're eating properly to gain weight, see far too many people trying to get by with 1500-2500, you'll gain weight on that but your body will have nothing to repair the damage you've done and your metabolism will remain slow, what you're doing is MUCH better

Should I be eating more than this though? Part of my ED was actually caused by having no money, so I just got used to the stomach pains etc. I've noticed that now that I am eating normally my appetite has become absolutely crazy and I just cannot stop eating, and I love it. I've missed eating good food so badly. It's amazing how much more alive you feel.
