No

It sounds like maybe you should
My mom thought that too, first she thought I suffered from anorexia and then bulimia.
I only eat once a day too so I don’t really think it’s that strange to do, I’m just not hungry🤷*♀️

I was like that too. When I learnt it is unhealthy I started forcing myself to eat breakfast at least.
When you say you eat once a day.. do you just eat one meal (breakfast / lunch / dinner)? Don't you have any snacks in between meals or after?

I feel exactly the same Did you go to the gp? But how did you deal with it ? Did you start eating properly after a while or still eat once a day

I have a small appetite so to answer your question not really no
GPs are experts so they’ll give the best advise. I didn’t realise I wasn’t eating enough ages ago so I changed my habits but that’s just me. Hope it goes well for you!!!

It's probably not an disorder, maybe it's your metabolism.
