There are psychological factors at work in any eating disorder. Anorexia is sometimes related with control issues and lack of self-esteem. The more you push, the more he may resist. Encourage him by telling him that you care. I don't know if there is anything else you can do, but there are many sites that can educate you both and offer suggestions. Here is an example of one.

Tell your boyfriend if he is so weight concious than go on this diet. The diet i made up is he will eat all what he wants but he only eats the serving sizes. It might sound crazy but it really does work and hes still eating. When i was younger i went through a faze where i didnt eat much of anything for about two months and i really wasnt hunger but my aunt choved cake down my throat. Just tell him to try this diet and that is how you and him can both be happy hes eating yet not getting "fat". Hope iv helped write me back id love to hear more about it.
