Abstract
In order to examine the eating behavior of individuals with the newly proposed diagnosis, binge eating disorder (BED), standardized meals we re served to 20 obese women, 10 with BED and 10 without BED. When aske d to binge eat from a multiple-item array of foods, obese subjects wit h BED consumed significantly more calories than did obese subjects wit hout BED. Significant differences between the two groups were also fou nd on several of the self-report measures. (C) 1993 by John Wiley & So ns, Inc.
