People suffering from anorexia nervosa eat a minumum amount of calories in order to survive, which they proceed to burn off with excessive exercise[and then some]. They do go on fasts-- periods of not eating-- which are usually water fasts, or juice fasts, also accompanied with excessive exercise behavior.
My longest fast was a week and a half. I don't know if others have gone longer, but the only reason that mine ended was because my mother caught wise and made me eat a sandwich. All that hard work for nothing!
When not fasting, I try to limit myself to under 500 calories a day. I burn it off at the gym or at practice, however, but I still feel guilty for allowing myself that much food.
Hope that satisfied your curiosity. You do know that it killed the cat, right?

Anorexics usually eat between 800 to 300 calories a day. Eating NOTHING makes a person dead.
200 calories is anorexic eating and will result in death.

Yes, a lot of anorexic people do eat *something* every day just to stay alive, usually like one apple or a cracker, etc. 200 calories a day definitely qualifies someone as being anorexic.

Eating 200 calories a day...you can get that in one meal alone so considering your supposed to have 3 meals yes i would still think that would be anorexic

Eating 200 calories a day is eating nothing. It would not continue to keep you alive.

Anorexic means they stop eatting almost completely to get thin so I guess 200 cals is barely food, so yes.

yep. but most anorexics eat more than 200 calories per day (minus fasts) They'd be dead if they didn't.

That is unhealthy. Even 500 calories a day is unhealthy.
