Explanation:

The problem describes Gregory's behaviors related to diet restriction, excessive exercise, and irrational concern about appearance/weight. These symptoms align with eating disorders, and in the context of Social Science (Psychology subfield), this is consistent with anorexia nervosa or body dysmorphic disorder - focused on weight/appearance. The key here is recognizing the psychological aspects of disordered eating and body image concerns, which falls under Psychology (Social Science subfield). The most probable condition here, based on the symptoms (diet restriction, excessive exercise, appearance concern), is anorexia nervosa (or more generally, an eating disorder with body image issues).

an eating disorder (e.g., anorexia nervosa)
