Am I undereating/not eating enough?

[Anonymous]

(Note: I am not trying to starve myself at all)
I am wondering if I am underweight because I am a picky eater and my parents don't really buy the foods I like anymore so today I only ate a hamburger (which I made by myself), Greek yogurt, and a grilled cheese sandwich which approximately adds up to around 400-500 calories. I have been eating like this for weeks and I've already lost a few pounds and that makes me happy though. So I am I undereating?

Hambuger should be around at least 300. Although that is low, it is healthier to alternate days with low eating. At most do your low calorie diet twice/three times a week rather than every day.

I would say you could use some extra calories, maybe something higher in calories. You probably are burning way more than you consume which isn't a good thing.

Is it possible that I could develop an eating disorder if I countinue my current eating habits?

[Cmasterson]

yes, your body will think its in starvation therefor turning anything you eat into fat storage.

That isn't 400-500 calories... it's more than double it most likely (depending on portion sizes). I'd just eat a healthier diet if I were you

But it's only one grilled cheese sandwich that I made myself with shredded cheese and white bread, and the burger had American cheese and a burger bun and I only had one cup of Greek yogurt

2 slices of white bread is 250ish calories. Depending on the cheese add another 150. Burger bun 250ish cheese 130ish patty (varies in size and fat %) 200-500 calories.
Greek yogurt 130 calories. That's more than 500 calories
