Without looking at the definition, how would you define an eating disorder?

[Anonymous]

What's the difference between someone who has one & someone who doesn't? Have you ever had one?

[Abbycado]

It could be someone that over indulges or doesn't get enough nutrition.

No, I have never had one.

What percentage of full health must someone have in order to be classified as being within a good zone of nutrient availability?

[Abbycado]

I would say that as long as they are within the typical BMI for age and gender, they are probably pretty healthy. That isn’t necessarily the true for everyone, but it is a decent enough indicator.

[Asker]

What about people who have a poor diet, get all essential nutrients, but stay within healthy bodyfat ranges? Would they have an eating disorder?

[Nikki1989]

Disturbed eating patterns.

[Asker]

Meal frequency? What makes it disturbed?

[MikeRJ]

It is any intake of food that is not healthy. I have never had one.

So would you say that bodybuilders who diet down to lean levels have eating disorders? since there's no real healthy way to allow the body to eat itself to such degrees.

[MikeRJ]

It could be. yes.

[Asker]

So what would be the diet distinction between two different bodybuilders who diet down to single digit body fat but one of them has an eating disorder?

[Sevenpointfive]

someone who refuses to eat at defined hours of the day

[Asker]

You're saying anyone who fasts during the day has eating disorders?

[Sevenpointfive]

no. i'm saying that eating outside of my guidelines is not tolerated!

[Asker]

oh so everyone should eat within your specific guidelines to avoid an eating disorder? 🤣

[Sevenpointfive]

that's correct sir!

[Asker]

what are they so I don't get committed 🤣

[Sevenpointfive]

don't feed them after midnight and you'll be fine

[Asker]
