Disordered eating is a general term used to describe a range of abnormal or atypical eating behaviors. It can include restriction, binge-eating, purging, unhealthy attitudes toward food, and more. It does not necessarily require a physician's diagnosis, nor does it have a specific frequency or goal of reducing body weight.
