Answers:
Well, I struggled with anorexia for a few years so I can give you some insight!.
First of all, to think that anorexic people don't eat anything AT ALL is an error; it's not just whether a person eats or doesn't eat at one moment, you have to look at what a person is doing all day and thinking--as a whole!.
I myself really could eat anything so it was very easy to hide!. But I would make up for it, and control it in a VERY strict, obsessive kind of way!. Like if I was out with friends (which had to be restricted) and had a NORMAL meal of 500 calories (i!.e!. a small hamburger with a side salad, or a large Subway sandwich, etc!.) I wouldn't eat for the rest of the day and I'd keep up the exercise (I ran miles daily)!.
I was ALWAYS hungry, I just denied myself food most of the time!. I'd only eat in front of people, if I skipped meals I'd leave "crumbs" on the plate saying I'd already eaten, and if I wasn't going to have a big meal I would snack throughout the day eating healthy foods like egg whites, tuna, vegetables, fruits (apples, grapes, bananas, etc!.), nuts, fat-free dairy, and my calories would total to a maximum of 500 or 600 a day!. As someone else mentioned, sometimes I'd eat "fattening" things to hide my illness!.!.!.like, I'd eat a BIG, entire chocolate bar (about 300 to 400kcal), or a WHOLE bag of fried chips like Dorito's (328kcal IIRC) and that would be all I ate for the day!. With this and many other crazy behaviors, I eventually became underweight and gaunt (I keep old size 0 jeans in my closet from that time o!.O) and people started to notice!.
Of course, the problem for me wasn't calories or exclusively being skinny, it was being addicted to starvation!. I was clinically depressed and not eating--and/or controlling what I did eat--settled my anxiety for some odd reason!. Sometimes I'd fast for half a week or more if I could get away with it!. It gave me a false sense of controlling "something" in my life when everything else was out of control, and that's one of the main reasons which drove my behavior!.
(BTW, not eating doesn't make you fat, it does slow your metabolism but it doesn't make you fat in and of itself!. People like to throw in the term of starvation mode like it's going out of style, when in fact metabolism is really a lot more complicated than that!. And when I recovered I never really gained ANY the weight back even though I ate regularly!.!.!.my metabolism stabilized pretty quickly, and it was only a few YEARS later when I started eating A LOT of crap and not exercising when I did gain weight!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have personal experience on this one!. And just for the record i'm not anorexic anymore!. So anyways, I started out eating less and less everyday!. I went from eating 2000 calories to around 1000 and eventually below 200!. eventually I got to eating a half of a special K bar for breakfast and the other half for dinner everyday!.
It was terrible, yeah I lost about 50 lbs!. but I could hardly stand up!. I passed out a few times and i scared my parents to death!. Eventually i realized how stupid I was being and went back to eating right!. I gained EVERTHING back!. All 50 lbs!. And I'm still glad I did!. It was either die or be a little heavy and happy!.
You also get pale and lose a lot of hair!.
Sorry if that was too much info!. =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on the person!. They may eat absolutely nothing one day, and then eat maybe just one low-calorie meal the next day!. Or they may pick at their food to make it look eaten or eat all fruits and vegetables!. I suppose it's personal preference!.
And of course they get hungry!. Just because you're anorexic doesn't mean you don't get hungry!. They simply learn to ignore it because they're so obsessed with becoming fat!. Maybe if they starve themselves for long enough, they simply don't feel hungry anymore!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

most of the time they dont eat but when they get really hungry or feel like they will pass out they normally eat something very small like a few saltine crackers or maybe some carrots
and not eating itself dosent make you fat but the effects on your metabolism does!. see not eating is not exersizing your metabolism so it will slow down
and yes everybody gets hungry, its the body's natural instinct to keep you alive, annorexic people tend to just ignore their hunger because they so desperatly need to be skinny!. and even if they are it is all in their head about how fat they think that they are because it all really depends on body image!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It kills your metabolism and they get hungry!. I would suspect they don't feel it as much after awhile, but you gotta have a lot of willpower (and mental illness) to go through with it!. That's why starvation diet fads people go through never work! It's too hard!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
