Assessment of binge eating has been criticized because of serious doubts concerning the accuracy of self-report. This experiment tested the validity of a laboratory test meal as an indicator of binge eating. Eight individuals diagnosed with binge-eating disorder (BED), eight obese non-binge-eaters, and eight normal-weight non-binge-eaters ate a test meal under conditions designed to increase the likelihood of inducing a binge episode. Non-binge-eaters, regardless of weight, felt in control of their eating and ate a relatively small amount of the test meal, while participants with BED ate significantly more food and felt significantly more out of control. Eating behavior during test meals can be a useful indicator of BED diagnostic status and may be a useful method for objectively defining binge eating.
