I think im suffering from anorexia

v2006

Im not sure if i actually do. Basically whenever theres any fatty food such as even a drop of oil on something i never eat it thinking i will put on weight. I have gone from having a 36 inch waist to a 30 inch but still not satisfied, as now i want to be 29 inches. I workout with dumbells to build muscle mass but hesitant to eat any food with a drop of oil in them or dairy products.

Sounds like you're just picky. Surely a 30 waist is much healthier than a 36 waist. Are you male or female?

You can borrow my body for a month to get my weight down if you want.

I know next to nothing about anorexia, but I do know what you're doing is dangerous - there is a recommended daily limit of fat you should eat, but that in no way means you should eat none at all. Fat is necessary in your diet, even if you just go ahead and burn it straight back off (because, if you eat under this recommended limit and have a fairly normal exercise routine, you do) - you need it going through you. It's an essential backup energy supply, among other things.

i manage to cram in 20-25 grams of fat a day. Maybe more when i eat out.

If you're working out to build muscle mass you can't be anorexic, beacause as you'll know increasing muscle mass increases body size. Anorexics have a fear of weight gain hence why they eat next to nothing. If you're eating a healthy and varied diet besides then I can't see the problem. Chances are though, that somewhere in your diet, you are still eating fat.

Sounds like your just overly consious of your diet, nothing wrong with that I think.

to be honest, sugar is more of a culprit when you put on fat

probably not. Too little calories is bad for your metabolism

You're aware there is a problem, why don't you change it? Stop calorie and gram counting. Eat a healthy diet, inc. meat, fish, fruit, fibre, minerals, vitamins, proteins etc and you should be fine.
