Another fact: 10-15% of those who suffer from an eating disorder are male

Today When I was sitting in class, I thought about those statistics and that would mean that in the class room 4 people have an eating disorder. That seemed a little too high.
So please vote and thank you!

Eating disorder= anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ednos, disorderd eating (not diagnosed)

I want to see if the statistics I've seen in a video are correct, so I'd appreciate it if as many as possible could participate in this poll.

Disordered eating refers to a wide range of abnormal eating behaviours, many of which are shared with diagnosed eating disorders. The main thing differentiating disordered eating from an eating disorder is the level of severity and frequency of behaviours.

Disordered eating behaviours and attitudes include:

Binge eating
Dieting
Skipping meals regularly
Self-induced vomiting
Obsessive calorie counting
Self-worth based on body shape and weight
Fasting or chronic restrained eating
Unbalanced eating (e.g. restricting a major food group such as ‘fatty’ foods or carbohydrates)
Laxative, diuretic, enema misuse
Steroid and creatine use – supplements designed to enhance athletic performance and alter physical appearance
Using diet pills
