Right, I really need help here.

I have to decide what dish to cook for a bulimic person (person with bulimia)
and the DEADLINE is tomorrow!!
well to be exact, it's at 9pm tomorrow.

so yeah.. i have no idea what to cook.
I have already done the other work and research (my god that took so long -.-), and now THIS!

On top of this, which is Decision making,
I still have to prepare a Time plan, Equipment list and a Food order list.

So obviously, without the decision, i cannot proceed doing the Time Plan and so on.

yup yup yup so please help ~

thank you thank you

edit; btw please give me recipes with ingredients easily found (sorry if im asking too much D:), because i REALLY have to cook for this test, and i need to get ingredients myself. tyty ~ you guys rock

What's the difference in cooking for a bulimic person and a normal person? They both eat, but just that in the end, the bulimic throws up whatever she eats. Bulimia is a disorder and different types of foods wont make a difference. Personal preference to a certain type of foods is completely different. If you're thinking what types of foods might be more settling for the stomach then it's wrong, it has something to do with the body being used to regurgitating everything and also something to do with the mind. I suggest you do a bit of research on bulimia.

With that said, cook anything. Pick a universal flavor on food if you don't know what they like. Salty foods are a safe bet because well...not a lot of people say no to salty foods.

[addickshun]

hmph..
maybe they eat what an aneroxia recovering person eats?
don't take it seriously i'm just guessing lol.

[Lothringen]

Soup?
like cream of mushroom... I dunno ._.;
@_@

I think bulimic people eat and barf coz the main reason is they don't want to get fat or think they're already fat? Usually they will binge on fattening foods and those high in calories etc. and then purging them out later on. What about trying a low-caloried recipe? Really really non-fattening type? I'm sorry I really don't know what else to think of. Also, I don't have any recipes.. just trying to give you an idea.. Good luck!

[cand33clouds]

um.. i dont know whats the difference between cooking for a normal person and a bulimic person...
but if youre saying like... what would be best to feed them, then maybe some kind of soup... easily digestable? i dk, so at least they digest some of it before they purge it all

[rikuu]

Well if you're talking about a case where they don't puke it out cause they're being forced not to or something -

I suggest a serious case of potatoes.
Those are wonderful, but they're as fattening as (fill in the blank).
So, yeah.
Fries, mashed, in pies, baked, eaten straight...
ANYTHING. Potatoes are great, super flexible.

[ShInHwAcHaNgJoTM]

Something easy for them to throw up maybe?

something like mashed potatoes or idk something soft
I just don't see the difference in it
Bulimic people and normal people eat the same
it's just that one ends up
throwing it up afterwards

[sheLLiJiElUn]

I saw on Tyra Banks that she went to this place where they help people with their Bulimia, and they showed the Blumic people eating.. stuff like fish.. and vegetables i think.. i can't remember exactly.. i tried looking it up for you, but i couldn't find the show.

[revontulet]

o__o this is an odd assignment, that's all I'll say bulimic people and normal people eat the same things...it's just that bulimic people do something with their food after eating that ruins their bodies :/

[sushiwhore]

you make them a cake o_O soft easy to trhwo up nice flavor to mouth and so muh calories so thye can trick the world making others think they wat so much

[~ BunnyliciouS ~]

since those people afraid of getting fat, so i think you cook food that's non-fat, non-sugar and zero calories

vegetables
tofu
non-fat milk

.... yuck

[Azngel]

To everyone that said there is no difference between cooking for a bulimic and a normal person: i dont see how this can be the same. i'm no medical expert but since a bulimic person regurgitates their food along with acids in their stomach. this acid greatly deteriorates their esophagus and teeth, and weakens their body's ability to digest b/c their stomach hasnt done so for so long. so a long term bulimic wouldnt be able to chow down a large piece of steak a normal person would.

to the OP: i would think that you should cook something nutritious yet can be easily digested to help the bulimic start their recovery process without over burdening their body. i would probably cook a bulmic chicken soup with lots of vegetables. brown rice thats a little bit mushy. and for protein perhaps a tofu shake or something with tofu. steamed fish might also work.

[sushiwhore]

nono silly those are annorexic ppl bulimic ppl tend to over eat normal ppl on anything like burgers or so then run to teh bathroom and barf

sooooooo o_o cake is best chosice csince its loaded with caloires

[Delster]

I don't get this assignment. There's no difference in what normal people and what bulimic people eat. The difference lies in the fact that bulimia is a psychological disorder - the person suffers from it will eat (usually binge eat) then feel guilty and thus throw up.

[crazypilovee]

is this homework or something? it sounds like that or the bulimic recovering person you're taking care of is SUPER OCD and controlling... yeah i'd recommend looking up wat anorexic ppl eat for recoveries too.. although they're all just food... eat healthy stuff?

Yo they arn't afriad of getting fat it is a DISORDER, you can't help yourself if you throw up from time to time.
defintily not chinese food where there are lots of msg, fat and too sweet for bulimic people, the portion should be SMALL like baby sizes and tiem to time increase the portion little by little. The best type oof food to feed bulimic people would be anything with fruits in them, honey dew melons, korean melons any type of melon. For dishes I would recommmend soup as well but it has to be filled with little chunks of meet or solid food in it, because watery food will cause them to throw up.
