Once the body of an anorexic gets accustomed to the lower calorie intake, it significantly decreases muscle mass and slows the metabolism. There is often quite a bit of swelling in the abdomen among people who do not eat enough. An anorexic diet often is lacking in protein. The body then uses muscle mass to provide for the necessities just to stay alive. Fat and other calories are burned in the muscles. The only rational way to loose weight is to eat a balanced diet with a good percentage of protein, and to exercise enough to keep the muscles in tone. Not only do anorexics LOOK diseased, they truly have a serious medical condition that can be life threatening. One would think that Karen Carpenter would be an example of what NOT to do.

No. It takes 3,500 calories to gain a solid pound of body weight. One meal will not do that.
Is there a way not to gain weight back after being anorexic?
Sadly, no. After you loose a ton of weight while your anorexic, your body sort of gets used to the amount your eating and that's how you can sustain that weight. Once you start to eat more, you throw your body off track and will gain weight rapidly (or at least a lot quicker than you lost it).

How much do anorexic people weigh?
it depends on your height and bone formation,,, a petite girl may be anorexic by the weight of 70-85 lbs,,, a tall girl may be anorexic by the weight of 100-110 PS: and mostly big boned people doesnt depend their being "anorexic" by height,,, they depend it on how they eat and how often or how healthy... why? because their bones add weights to their "lbs",,, so they dont tell if the person is anorexic or not... eat lots of vegetables,,, fruits moderately eat meat and seafoods,,, dont skip breakfast... the most important meal of the day... try consulting a doctor if your really confused,, :) hope I helped,, :)
