Frequently asked questions
What BMI is considered anorexic?
A BMI below 17.5 is a commonly cited marker, but anorexia is diagnosed by a professional using many criteria — not BMI alone.
Is this a diagnosis?
No. It is an informational calculation. If you're worried about your weight or eating patterns, please talk to a healthcare provider.
