The spectrum of foods and behaviors that can lead to an eating disorder is referred to as the disordered eating spectrum. It encompasses a range of unhealthy eating habits, including restrictive diets, binge eating, and purging behaviors. On one end, individuals may engage in healthy eating and exercise, while on the other, they could develop severe eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia. Understanding and identifying where behavior falls on this spectrum helps in early intervention and prevention strategies. Awareness of disordered eating can promote healthier relationships with food and body image.
