This analysis highlights the need for better food reporting to improve our understanding of binge-eating episodes involving processed foods.
Across published studies, highly processed foods were highly prevalent in binge-eating episodes, but interpretations are constrained by vague and incomplete food reporting. We outline recommendations for standardized food-reporting practices to improve the characterization of foods reported in binge-eating occasions to strengthen the clinical relevance of future research.
