Summary:Objective Atypical anorexia nervosa (AN) has been increasingly identified in the community and in clinical settings. Initial studies indicate that psychological symptoms are similar or more severe among patients with atypical AN, as compared with AN. This study examined whether eating behavior differed among patients with AN (n = 98), patients with atypical AN (n = 18), and healthy controls (HC, n = 75). Method Adults and adolescents chose what to eat from a standardized, laboratory‐based multi‐item meal. Total intake, macronutrient composition, diet variety, and energy density were compared between groups.
