Abstract
Objective: We sought to describe meal and snack frequencies of individuals with recurrent binge eating and examine the association between these eating patterns and clinical correlates. Method: Data from 106 women with a minimum diagnosis of recurrent binge eating were used. Meal and snack frequencies were correlated with measures of weight, eating disorder features, and depression. Participants who ate breakfast every day (n = 25) were compared with those who did not (n = 81) on the same measures. Results: Breakfast was the least, and dinner the most, commonly consumed meal. Evening snacking was the most common snacking occasion. Meal patterns were not significantly associated with clinical correlates; however, evening snacking was associated with binge eating. Discussion: Our findings largely replicated those reported in earlier research. More research is needed to determine the role of breakfast consumption in binge eating. © 2010 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Int J Eat Disord 2011; 44:447–451)Keywords
