Hi guys! So For a really long time (at least three years) I've been crazy worried about my weight. I'm female, 5'9, and weigh 136lbs. I almost never eat over 950 calories unless I'm out of town for the day, and I go to the gym and work off around 150-200 calories. On days I don't go to the gym, I eat around 700. Today I ate 644 calories. My mom thinks I may be giving myself low blood sugar, and my dad thinks Ive put myself into starvation mode, and I think it may be an eating disorder. The thing about this is, I have another condition that makes me pass out more often than normal, and when I eat too few calories I black out and sometimes pass out. What will happen if I continue eating like this? And is low calorie intake the same thing as under eating? I know calories is what you need to live, so does anyone have an answer? And by the way, I honestly don't think I can stop this eating habit, just in case some say eat food with higher calories. Thank you in advance! (link)

I'm not a doctor so I can't sit here and tell you whether or not you have an eating disorder.
What I can tell you is that something is definitely wrong and you do need to see a doctor. You also realize something is wrong or else you wouldn't be writing to us.
If something is out of control, most likely something is wrong. You said yourself you don't think you can stop eating like this.
From what I've studied, we should be eating around 2,000 calories, give or take for each person. Obviously not crap food, but good food.
My advice is to go see a doctor. They'll diagnose you and from there you can start working on your health.

Thanks! Many people say I eat too little, and Im pretty sure I'm in starvation mode because I haven't been able to get to 1000 calories in a while. Today I'm consuming even less. I'm honestly not sure if it's an eating disorder, I was just thinking that's what it could turn out to be. I had some of the symptoms so I was gonna check with my doctor about it. I will be seeing the doctor soon because she has been testing me, and I heard that starvation mode and the other thing go hand in hand and I'm definitely either in starvation mode or close to being to it. Thank you for the advice.
