I think it's unfair to assume a thin girl has an eating disorder, and a chubby girl eats too much, it's just not that simple.

Agreed. We need to remember that calories out for most people including active people is mostly due to BMR(basal metabolic rate). That part of the equation is highly variable, but the fact still remains that weight change is directly proportional to calories in minus calories out. Again state of health is a different discussion, but you can't lose weight if calories in are not less than calories out.
