Is it normal to not like to eat?

So, I really don't like eating. I eat usually about once a day and I hate food. Right after im done eating I feel sick to my stomach :/ I don't know why this happens or if it's even normal!??!

    You dont sound like you have an eating disorder. You may not need as much nutrients to function. But instead of one meal have the same amount as you usually would halved. Only go to your doctor if you suddenly get a lack of energy, could be due to a lack of iron, this can be remedied by iron tablets or eating red meats and green vegetables.

    I feel the same way as you. Eating has always been a sort of stressful thing for me. I don't have a favourite meal, just a list of things that won't make me puke if they go in my mouth and a list of things that will. I would never consider starving myself, I just don't enjoy eating. I have no concept of a "good meal".

    I don't think you are normal, but not very abnormal.

    I have an eating disorder. Eating really is a waste of time, I don't get it. It's all pointless. Lately, I don't have an appetite I'm constantly full and no, I'm not doing this on purpose. I say you're normal:)

    You sound anorexic. I don't like that. Seek that much needed help and advice which you so need.

      True. You might have an eating disorder. You should talk about it to your doctor.

    this might be a sign youre developing an eating disorder, its really not healthy to have one meal a day, you should at least be having 3. Consult a dietitian about how you can alter your eating behavior, you shouldnt take this lightly

    There's a recipe book out there that's actually called Goes Down Easy. It's for people who've lost their interest in food, much like you. I think you're normal, but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't do something about it: you should. Is there a lot of stress or distraction in your life right now? That could be the culprit. If you can't get your appetite back, you should see your physician. I think there's medication you can take to stimulate your appetite.

    I like food, normally, but I go through periods like this too. On those days, I only eat a couple slices of bread and 2-3 eggs. It keeps me going without hurting stomach.

    I love food! How anyone could not enjoy a good tasty meal is beyond me...

    Maybe your smelling senses aren't very good? I know that they are somehow connected to the taste buds.

    All I can say is lucky you. You will never have to worry about being fat. :) I have never been very into food either, but I certainly don't detest it...
