    Eating less than 1000 calories a day? and you're a male?!!? 1200 is the minimum for sedentary female, and most females don't even have to go that low. Calculate your tdee and eat under that amount and you will lose weight.

    Go get professional help. You've admitted you have an ED, now you need to address that.

    At your age, you're still growing. You need to eat a decent amount of calories so you're gaining the necessary nutrients to get through the day. If you're struggling with the mentality of gaining weight and you think it's becoming an obsession, please see a professional who can help you. You want to be healthy, don't forget, and that means giving your body what it needs to get from day to day. Eating under 1200 calories a day is dangerous over a long period of time.
