Binge eating is defined by a person consuming an unnaturally large amount of food of over 2,000 calories within the space of two hours.

Binge eating is characterised by a sense of having lost control over eating. People with the disorder may find themselves eating large quantities of food even when not hungry, usually in a short period of time. This is accompanied by feelings of guilt or disgust at the perception of having consumed so much.
