A member asked:
Is it possible to still have an eating disorder eating 1000-1200 cals a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is: There are multiple types of eating disorders. You could eat those calories, but if you're also purging through vomiting, laxatives, diuretics, or compulsive exercise, you may still have an eating disorder.
