Feedback:
Binge eating disorder is characterized by the inability to control overeating accompanied by a guilty feeling. Eating when not hungry is not specific to binge eating and is often a characteristic of compulsive overeating. Binge eaters eat very rapidly and often consume as much as 10,000 calories at one sitting. Many binge eaters are overweight as are compulsive overeaters.
