quality of food during recovery

I'm currently trying to recover from anorexia on my own, I haven't been able to meet with a nutritionist yet but hopefully will within the next week. I'm 5'3" 100 lbs up from 97 lbs. I have already added around 700 calories to my diet and have decreased the amount of cardio I'm doing.

I'm wondering if the quality of foods I eat while recovering is important. Usually I try to stay away from foods high in sugar and sodium. I do this because I want to eat foods that will properly nourish my body and enable me to be stronger and be more fit.

My other question is about muscle loss. If I stop running and lifting weights while recovering, will I lose the muscle tone I have? I like having a strong healthy body. I'm fine gaining a bit of body fat, I know I need to. But I don't want to lose the muscles I have.

Thanks!
