“…Overall, a cut-off of 1000 kcal has been used in the ED field as it seems to provide a good specificity in identifying OBE [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ]. In this regard, previous research attempted to define an empirical threshold for a “large amount of food” and determined that these values may differ across food types and sexes [ 48 , 49 , 50 ]. For example, Forney et al revealed that the upper limits for a “normal consumption” of foods ranged from 413 to 1074 kcal for women and from 466 kcal to 1611 kcal for men [ 48 ].…”

Food Consumption during Binge Eating Episodes in Binge Eating Spectrum Conditions from a Representative Sample of a Brazilian Metropolitan City

The prevalence of binge eating spectrum conditions (BESC) are increasing globally. However, there is a lack of data from general population samples in low- and middle-income countries. Thus, this study described the food consumption during objective binge eating episodes (OBE) in people with BESC from a metropolitan city in Brazil. Participants comprised 136 adults (18 years old–60 years old) with Binge Eating Disorder (BED), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), or recurrent binge eating (RBE) from a two-phase epidemiological survey. They were interviewed in their homes by trained lay interviewers using the Questionnaire on Eating and Weight Patterns updated for the DSM-5 to assess BESC diagnosis and food consumption during a typical OBE. Overall, participants consumed a mean of 1067 kcal during the episodes. For the most part, these calories were derived from carbohydrates (58%) and lipids (30%), irrespective of the diagnosis. Regarding food item consumption, individuals with BED and RBE consumed staple foods (mainly rice and beans) more frequently than those with BN. Conversely, participants with BN ingested sugar-sweetened beverages more frequently than the BED group. In conclusion, there were differences in the eating patterns of individuals with BESC in Brazil. BED and RBE participants consumed more typical foods, whereas those with BN preferred foods with a high content of energy during their OBE.

“…Although there was a significant reduction in binge episodes in this meta-analysis, none of the treatment studies included in this analysis resulted in complete abstinence following treatment. Interestingly, a recent study has shown that when compared with obese, non-BED participants, those diagnosed with BED have a significantly higher threshold for what comprises a large amount of food [55]. Furthermore, laboratory-based studies have also demonstrated that when compared with their non-BED counterparts, participants diagnosed with BED tend to have a significantly higher caloric intake and consume large amounts of food even during nonbinge-eating episodes [56,57].…”

Background There has been a recent rise in the use of eHealth treatments for a variety of psychological disorders, including eating disorders. Objective This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials is the first to evaluate the efficacy of eHealth interventions specifically for the treatment of binge eating disorder (characterized by compulsive overconsumption of food, in a relatively short period, and without compensatory behaviors such as purging or fasting). Methods A search on the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, MEDLINE, and CINAHL was conducted for randomized controlled trials that compared the efficacy of eHealth treatment interventions with waitlist controls. Results From the databases searched, 3 studies (298 participants in total) met the inclusion criteria. All interventions were forms of internet-based guided cognitive behavioral therapy. The results of the analysis demonstrated that when compared with waitlist controls, individuals enrolled in eHealth interventions experienced a reduction in objective binge episodes (standardized mean difference [SMD] −0.77, 95% CI −1.38 to −0.16) and eating disorder psychopathology (SMD −0.71, 95% CI −1.20 to −0.22), which included shape (SMD −0.61, 95% CI −1.01 to −0.22) and weight concerns (SMD −0.91, 95% CI −1.33 to −0.48). There was no significant difference in BMI between the eHealth interventions and controls (SMD −0.01, 95% CI −0.40 to 0.39). Conclusions These findings provide promising results for the use of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for binge eating disorder treatment and support the need for future research to explore the efficacy of these eHealth interventions.

ObjectiveThe selection of adequate portion sizes plays a key role in the nutritional treatment of eating disorders (EDs). There is limited knowledge concerning the estimation of portion sizes in individuals with EDs.MethodWe performed a systematic review according to the PRISMA statement to synthesise current evidence in this field. Of N = 584 hits, four full‐texts were included in the qualitative synthesis.ResultsWhile patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) tend to overestimate the size of energy‐dense food items and small to medium sized meal portions, they do not show a different estimation compared to healthy controls when judging the amount of food pieces. Large portion sizes were associated with increased anxiety in patients with AN.DiscussionThe overestimation of food portion sizes seems to be driven by attitudinal and/or higher cognitive factors associated with AN. Differences between the studies are discussed and suggestions for future studies are given.
