Question posed by PleaseHelp: How many calories a day do people with anorexia typicall eat?
I’ve heard some say anything under 1200 and others say no one with anorexia would eat more than 300 calories a day, so I was just wondering.
No, I’m not going to eat that little.
Thanks in advance! 
My chosen answer:
Answer by Ringo Rosewood
Keep in mind that there are different types of eating disorders, combinations of disorders and different personalities. Anorexia is not defined by cal counts, it’s defined by the mental disorder and the persons habits. Those poor people who live in Africa and can’t eat aren’t anorexic even though they probably only consume a few hundred cals a day
I am dieting now and there are some day when I only eat 900 cals, but my diet is so full of veggies that I don’t even notice I am hungry. But if all someone at was a 150 calorie soda and a piece of chocolate cake, that 900 calories would be considered anorexic.
Anything under 500 is in the dangerous starvation zone. If a person is only getting this little (by choice) they probably have some type of disorder.

Just Me asked: Since late November, I’ve been eating about 500-800 calories a day. I noticed that my hair has really started to thin out in the front and it seems like I am shedding a lot of hair.
I was under the impression that hair loss only occured in severe cases of anorexia, though. And I have gone for way longer eating way less and never had any problems with hair loss.
Anyways, what should I expect to happen? Is it going to keep falling out?

i was about 140lbs. and now i’m about 127 (as of a week ago) and i’ve gained i think a pound or two. i was about 120ish for a while.
I will do so well and eat about 1000 calories a day and exercise everyday and do alot of cardio, strength, etc. I eat healthy, not bad crap.
i’ll eat very low amounts all day but then out of nowhere i will binge eat when i get home and eat ALL the bad things. chips ( i dont even like chips), cookies and more cookies, crackers, chocolate, etc. anything i can get my hands on and then my stomach stretches out so much.
I’ll binge eat like crazy and then i feel like **** for the next couple of days and feel HUGE.
=[
I just need to get out of this craving junk food rut.
It’s so discouraging and i can see that i’m gaining my weight back!
i really need some encouragement or i need to know what i can do!

fallen_aynjehl asked:
I freak out if I go over 400 calories a day and I work out a lot. I am 5’8″ and 117lbs… I have been restricting like that to lose weight for a few years. At my highest weight, I was 135 and at my lowest 110. I’m 21 years old, so is it possible that I have an eating disorder? I thought only younger girls suffered from them.
