An eating disorder is a compulsion to eat, or avoid eating, that negatively affects both one's physical and mental health. Eating disorders are all encompassing.

Why isnt disordered eating the same as eating disorders?

This is because there are more medical aspects that apply to being diagnosed with an eating disorder. An eating disorder requires medical attention, nutrition counseling, and therapy. There's also distorted body image or BDD that plays into being diagnosed with anorexia. There is a weight requirement, otherwise, one can be diagnosed possibly with ED-NOS (eating disorder other wise specified). That's with people with just disordered eating would probably fall into. I don't know if they'd have the obsessive thoughts that eating disordered people do.
