I'm 5% eating disordered - probably don't have one. They didn't have any questions about forgetting to eat or not knowing when you're hungry, however.

(And I left the calories question blank because I have no clue how many calories are in anything at all that I eat.)

I have had an eating disorder in the past (diagnosed as bulimic and then Eating Disorder NOS) but I have been completely recovered for over four years now. I'm a healthy weight, I eat proper meals and I'm happy with my weight. I occasionally skip a meal if I'm absorbed in something, but I always make up for it at the next meal. I don't think my eating is disordered at all.

You probably scored higher based on some of your past behavior.

After careful consideration, you are.......6% eating disordered.
Luckily for you, your scores show that you are probably not suffering from an eating disorder. And that's good news! Eating disorders are not glamourous, cool or a new lifestyle. They are nothing. They won't make you pretty or popular, and will leave you skeletal and bald. Good thing your health is still in tact. Take a health course and learn to love your body. It's healthy. That rocks!

I have some issues with the test.
1. I don't eat breakfast so the bits about meals always confuse me. Food is food so I eat anything at any time of the day or night.
2. I usually eat about twice a day.
3. My taste in food runs towards the ethnic: Chinese, Japanese, Thai, East & West Indian, etc, so the choices in the test do not compute.
4. Why the test stop at 140Lbs+. Was it designed for short adolescents?

Yes, that is possible.



I imagine it is aimed at women Of course men do get eating disorders, and that would be taken into account in a diagnostic situation but not on a quiz like this.

I'm a woman and I'm around 190 and not at all fat. (I am fairly tall however, around 5'8 I think.) I think the weights are a bit screwy, unless they're only interested in whether you're underweight.

I'm an extremely picky eater & I don't cook so I pig-out when I have opportunity too. Also this quiz ask about taking medication to increase metabolism but it doesn't ask about medication side-effects.

After careful consideration, you are.......14% eating disordered.
