Participants who reported weight gain attempts were then asked, "During the past seven days, which of the following things did you do in order to gain weight or build muscle?" Response choices included: (a) ate different foods than usual, (b) ate more, or (c) took food supplements. These questions were adapted from validated eating behavior measures used in the Adolescent Health Survey and similar to those used in Project Eating Among Teens (Neumark-Sztainer, 2010; Neumark-Sztainer, Story, Resnick, & Blum, 1998).

In addition, participants were asked, "In the past year, have you used anabolic steroids or other illegal performance enhancing substances for athletes?" Response choices included yes or no. Those who had affirmative responses to any of a-c or to AAS use were coded as engaging in muscularity-oriented disordered eating behaviors.

according to this study , changing your diet to influence your physique is disordered eating behavior

note that no attempt whatsoever was made to differentiate between degrees - someone who added a protein shake to their breakfast is counted the same as the guy pinning tren furthermore, under these standards, what exactly counts as ordered eating behavior? apparently a skinny dude switching from eggos and syrup to bacon, eggs, spinach, and milk is participating in the same dIsOrDeReD behavior as an anorexic girl throwing up the single boiled egg she ate that day
