Click to select examples of disordered eating. Do not select examples of eating disorders. Remy drastically cut his food intake to achieve a leaner physique before his dance audition. Even after he earned a place in the dance company, he continued restricting his intake to about 600 kcal per day. His physical stamina has declined over the past 4 months.

She wanted to lose about 5 or 10 pounds before the wedding, so she restricted her food and beverage intake to less than 1,000 kcal per day for about 3 weeks. After the wedding, she resumed her usual dietary pattern. After his brother died, Devon was depressed and did not feel like eating for several weeks. He lost about 10 pounds due to low energy intake. After about 2 months, his food intake and body weight have returned to normal.
