On the other hand, I've known people in real life who are normal- or overweight but have what I define as disordered eating.

Nice summary of EDs.
If you don't know, an obsessive and damaging focus on the quality of food is known as orthorexia. It's not in the DSM, but it can be as physically and psychological damaging as more well-know EDs.
