Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Binge eating is characterized by feeling a lack of control over the amount of food consumed, and the consumption of a large amount of food in a short period of time. Although eating 18 apples in 15 minutes may seem excessive, it does not necessarily meet the criteria for binge eating if Dino did not feel a lack of control.
