im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start

if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting

electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets

1.6 g/kg = 120 g/day
