Sorry! An ED is an Eating Disorder. The starve/binge cycle that you describe can be in the umbrella of ED-NOS (Eating Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified) where it's not necessarily anorexia, bulimia, or overeating, but a similar mindset and behavior.
If you eat an appropriate amount throughout the day, your body maintains stability and you won't feel the urge to binge as much. I spent so many years of my life starving all day until 10 or 11pm to just binge on something that I normally wouldn't have eaten.
The moment I took a pen and paper (actually a computer) and planned my exact days was the moment my binging stopped. The fact was, I wasn't giving my body the right things all day - typically just coffee and water - so I would sometimes just lose control at night.
