When we talk about "eating disorders", we are typically talking about specific illnesses that are clinically-diagnosable.
When we talk about "disordered eating", we are referring to a large continuum of behaviors that could indicate an eating disorder that is "sub-clinical" (does not meet all the criteria for a clinical diagnosis) or a pattern of unhealthy eating (which is very vague!).
So, if we know the "disordered" way of eating... then what exactly is the "normal" way to eat?!
This is the best definition I have ever found:

February 24-March 1, 2008 marks the National Eating Disorder Awareness Week (NEDAW).
Eating Disorders are illnesses that are still largely untouched as far as being under-reported, under-researched and under-funded for treatment facilities. Eating disorders are life-threatening, and it is estimated that as many as 10 million females have an eating disorder, which include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and EDNOS ("eating disorder not otherwise specified").
