I read somewhere that a symptom of anorexia is blue-ish tinted fingernails. What causes that specificly in anorexics? I've also read that generally blue fingernails means poor blood circulation. How does undereating affect circulation?

Blue fingernails is a hallmark sign of hypoxia (lack of O2 to the tissue), its not a good sign if your fingers are blue get to the doctor.
