Fasted for 34h with no electrolytes, worried about refeeding syndrome

How likely is it that I’ll get it? I fasted from about 10PM on Wednesday to 8AM today (Friday), and have had 500kcal so far today.

Can I eat a normal amount of calories today, or should I stop eating? And should I go to the ER?

Refeeding syndrome is a problem for the chronically malnourished. Do you remember the photos of individuals rescued from WWII concentration camps? About 4% of those individuals suffered from refeeding syndrome.

Trust me, you are not getting refeeding syndrome in less than day and a half.
