BMR of anorexic females?
Let's say you had a female anorexic who practiced EXTREME restricting every day along with fasting.. How low could her BMR get?? Since BMR decreases with weight loss, could it be possible for an anorexic's BMR to be as low as 500 or something like that?
Thanks.

BMR isn't a function of how much you eat, its a function of age, weight, height. Her BMR won't change unless her weight changes. and even then I don't think adult's BMRs go below 1000.
