Did starving myself for a year at 13 stunt my future growth?

[Viacheslav]

I basically had anorexia from the age 12-13, so I gradually progressed over this period from eating 1100 calories to 300 calories per day of mostly junk food without protein. My hair was falling out, I had a 'fragile' skin and stuff. So I was clearly malnourished for a year. But it happened before I hit puberty, so I wonder did it impact my height growth/development or nah?

[Viacheslav]

How does deficit before puberty impact test tho? I get why it does during, but before

because it delays the initiation of puberty

It does, but puberty still takes place. So you are still getting that testosterone, just a bit later

you haven't developed your organs and bones so well, for example think that you are a machine, when they built you they were lazy and forgot screws and oil, you won't perform your function in the same performance as machines that were made correctly,
