Yes. Yellow skin is a symptom of anorexia nervosa and since you only eat 100-200 calories a day, you are probably at high risk to having a number of health problems. Having yellow skin is a sign that you aren't well. So you may want to get help and learn to eat more and better.
Good Luck.
P.S. To all of those who said she'd be dead: It depends on how severe her ED is. Some girls can thrive on just 200 calories a day. Sure it isn't good, nor healthy, but I think she is being honest on her calorie intake.
P.S. to (cranky lady ) How the heck am I wrong? Look at the questions and answers she has done before this one. And you will see that she is serious. I believe her. I think she could be in trouble. But I am not going to argue with you. It is pointless.
It could be I know there's also a condition called Jaundice which causes yellowing of the skin.

It sounds like you are malnurished and have liver damage. The yellowing is called jaundice. Look it up and eat something. You likely need 1800 calories a day not 100-200. Are you doing cocaine too...kiss ur liver good bye.
first, you have to be eating more than 100 to 200 calories a day, or you would be dead after about two weeks. Depending on what you weigh now, you need between 1400 and 2000 calories a day for health.
Your hands probably took on a yellowish cast because of poor circulation, and a build up of toxins from malnutrition.
wait. you tend to eat 100-200 calories a day?
are you sure?
cause you'd be dead.
if you mean 1000-2000, you're probably fine. are you avoiding meat? you could be a bit anemic. tell your parents or ask your school nurse what s/he thinks.
Jaundice makes your skin turn yellow. Look it up its nothing to mess around with or ignore. And could you please start eating more than a few hundred calories a day!! Do you want to lose all your hair? Its an ugly side effect because apparently you don't care about the side effects that you can't see!!
it could be.
Usually a yellow tint to your skin means something is wrong with your liver. Go check it out to be safe. Do you mean 1000 to 2000 calories because you would be dead if you only ate 100 to 200 a day, I know that for a fact. Oh, and the girl named "the only solorose" (the top contributor one) is wrong you can go three to five weeks without eating anything. Also the girl called "road to dusty death" is also wrong. On .com or .org sites people can say whatever they want.
