To be honest I don't think you have an eating disorder, unless you like your thiness. Do you want to put on weight? I think you just have a very fast metobalism which means your body processes your food very fast and so it becomes engry that you burn up and that is why you are so thin. There is another thing which is called an overactive thyroid, i'm not sure about what it is exaclty but I do know that people who suffer from it are extremely thin and find it very difficult to put on weight.
If you want to know why it is that you can't put on weight then I would recommend that you go to your doctor and ask for advice. But no you don't have an eating disorder from what you have said.
The best of luck

You probably just have a high metabolism, but you could have a thyroid problem

Hi.
My friend had the same problem. He is really tall and he is in his early 20 but can't gain any weight! He was trying everything from only eating cakes (muffins and cream cakes) but it just didn't work. He was really upset. I think if you start to mix carbs and protein rich diet it will work: eggs, sausages, bacon with bread and pasta. It will work and also make sure you excersise a lot cuz that will give it a push!
