Some of the symptoms of eating disorders include behaviors like refusal to eat some certain types of foods, then progressing to restrictions to a whole category of foods like no eating of proteins or carbohydrates. New practices like when one insists that food should e served at a certain time, using a certain knife, and maybe drinking using a certain cup or glass is an indication of an eating disorder.        

Undergoing excessive exercise in unfavorable conditions like bad weather indicates that an individual is obsessed with getting food out of their system. Some people go to an extent of exercising even when they are injured.

Psychological symptoms like increased preoccupation with body shape, weight, and appearance point to a disorder. Some people will complain of looking fat when they are actually healthy or underweight.
