disordered eating  

Definition

  • Disordered eating (DE) can be defined as eating habits and attitudes that pose a threat to health but do not meet the criteria of a recognized eating disorder. While individuals with eating disorders do exhibit disordered eating behaviors, these behaviors occur less frequently and less severely in people who do not present clinically with eating disorders.
