Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals with muscle dysmorphia, also known as "bigorexia," perceive themselves as being too small or not muscular enough and engage in disordered eating behaviors and excessive exercise to gain weight and muscle mass. This is a subtype of body dysmorphic disorder and is more commonly seen in men than in women. Anorexia nervosa involves a fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image, leading to restrictive eating and excessive weight loss. Reverse bulimia (also known as purging disorder) involves purging without binge eating, while orthorexia involves an unhealthy obsession with consuming only "clean" or "pure" foods.
