Thanks

I really wanted to start lifiting, I was REALLY underweight (56 kg, 184 cm) and now I'm starting to gain weight, but it's mostly fat and I have body dysmorphia, so my salient belly annoys the hell out of me and I start get paranoid and feel ugly and fat and it can trigger my anorexia to start again

But I don't know, I don't feel it's safe go to gymn yet. Yesterday my technical leader was hospitalized, he and his family tested positive for SARS-cov2. Numbers are only going up, it's not time yet

123 lbs/56 kg? At 6 Feet tall? Damn that's light. Use this calculator to figure out how much you need to eat. https://legionathletics.com/macronutrient-calculator/ IMO just start off with bodyweight exercises, since you are afraid to hit the gym due to Covid. You're so underweight that building muscle should be easy, bodyweight exercises or not.

I was suffering from clinical malnutrition, I started a new diet in August (with the help of a nutritionist). She also forbid me from making physical activity, because I could not spare any calories while so underweight 

I'm 63kg now which means I'm out of the malnutrition zone and just "healthy underweight" I guess... 

But my last bioimpedance indicate I'm at 12% body fat (I was 8% when I was 56 kg), my lean mass that I got only from food is starting to degrade as well, so she prescribed Whey Protein. She wants me to do weight train, but I just cant feel safe lifting in a gymn 

I might just do home bodyweight exercise  for at least some months. I want 66-67 kg, but without move my body fat percentage
