Try talking to her and voicing your concerns, but I doubt that she would tell you if she does have a problem. No amount of time is ok. Being anorexic isn't just bad because of the weight loss. There are many more serious consequences that are involved. Being malnourished is very dangerous. I would advise you to talk to an adult that you trust. If your friend finds out she'll be mad, but if you have that strong of a feeling that this is what's going on, you should tell someone, trying to help your friend is what's important.

Calories don't matter. If she's throwing her food away and she's not eating normally with the rest of you, she's anorexic. Do a test. Offer to buy her a burger, or go out for pizza, or suggest you have an ice cream or sth. If she has none of these, or if she throws up afterwards, confront her with the problem.
Also tell her mother to watch for symptoms and take care of her. She is the only one who can!

welll they usually consume less than 1000 calories maybe even less than 500.. tell her that anorexia is useless because you WILL get FATTER.. your body goes into starvation mode and takes in the smallest amount of food and turn it to fat

You need to be careful when confornting her about this, your her friend & she trusts you so try and be tactful about it. If you think is is more serous, if she gets very defensive, maybe speak to a school teacher and ask her opinion on this.

If your really a friend then go ahead and comfront her about it. Tell her your worried. I thinks thats better than trying to do research on her.
