    • Depends really how much she's eating in total - that's the important bit. I tend to always leave some stuff behind for reasons that I don't know about, but then I'm not super-slim.

    I'd get her to work out her BMI index as that'll give an idea whether she should eat more. Could be simply that she's not that hungry, or could be a subtle eating disorder or beginning of one.
    It is not an eating disorder. It is more of an OCD type thing. (Im not saying your friend HAS OCD, but it is similar behaviour)
    Example: She is not eating the food on her plate at all vs. No matter what amount of food she has on her plate, she will eat some and leave some.
    It is not an eating disorder. It's more like when certain people have to eat their food seperately (never mix carrots and chicken etc.)
    no. maybe shes full or just doesnt want that same chicken finger. i bite off of french frie and throw the other half away. dont know why i just do.
