A binge is defined as eating in a discrete period of time (a limited period, usually less than two hours) an amount of food that is definitely larger than most individuals would eat under similar circumstances. A binge is not limited to a single sitting and typically includes sweet, high caloric foods and is characterized more by abnormality in the amount of food consumed than by a craving for a specific nutrient such as carbohydrates.
