I rarely eat breakfast…and at school for lunch, I have a water bottle. I might have a little something to eat when I get home from school. But then I do eat dinner, and maybe something like ice cream later.

If you honestly aren’t hungry
(which is pretty unlikely),
then it’s not an eating disorder,
it’s just unhealthy.
You’re probably not getting enough nutrients.
However,
if the reason that you don’t eat
is because you want to lose weight,
or you’re depressed (or something like that),
then it is an eating disorder.
It’s not as extreme of a disorder as some are, though,
and you don’t need to take drastic measures.
Just eat breakfast.
Remember: a disorder is just something that is a little wrong.
It doesn’t have to be as extreme as bulimia to be
considered an eating disorder.
not so much a disorder as not healthy. it’s never a good idea to skip meals. lots of people don’t like breakfast, but a piece of toast or some fruit would help fill your body’s gas tank. OK, you make it sound like you eat a bottle for lunch, but I know you mean you drink a bottle of water. water is good, but has no real nutrition. you should have some protein, like some tuna or a hard boiled egg or something. you don’t need to eat a lot, but fuel your body. it’s not an eating disorder, just your personal preference. eating light meals or maybe having a nutrition drink would help keep you healthy.
I wouldn’t call this an eating disorder, but rather just an unhealthy way of eating. If you’re eating most/all of your food in one meal, you’re slowing your metabolism way down. You’re body needs nutrition all throughout the day. You should start eating breakfast. Even a bowl of cereal or some fruit is good. And definitely eat some lunch, even if it’s just a granola bar, some fruits or veggies, or whatever. So basically, you don’t have to be eating for these meals, but just eating in the first place. This way your body is getting the vitamins it needs and something to burn energy off of. Also, this keeps your metabolism moving. When you’re not eating for such a long period, and then eating suddenly, your body automatically starts to store that energy for when it knows it will need it in the future, in the form of fat.
