Disordered eating encompasses a range of unhealthy eating habits, such as skipping meals, obsessing over “clean” foods, following restrictive diets, overeating, and feeling anxious about eating in social situations. These behaviors can often progress into more serious eating disorders. In fact, studies show that 18.75% of female college students are at risk for developing an eating disorder, with many engaging in behaviors like binge eating or self-induced vomiting. A staggering 91% of college women have dieted at some point to control their weight.
