Well, said person may exhibit certain signs.

They may try not to eat in front of people, may be "saggish", may not have energy, may get sick often, and may wear large clothes to hide their shape...

If they have bulimia, they may go to the bathroom often or eat a ton and disappear suddenly to the bathroom...

If they're anorexic, they most likely will hide it. They will tell people they're eating something but not.
