Objective: In the current study, we were interested in developing a typology of eating in patients with bulimia nervosa (BN) based on the size of the eating episode, whether the episode was followed by self-induced vomiting, and the degree of loss of control (LOC) self-reported by participants.
Method: Twenty-one women with BN, purging type, were evaluated using the Nutritional Data System for Research, the Eating Disorders Examination, and the Matrix.
Results: The most common type of episode resembled what might be termed "normal" eating, which involved the consumption of <1,000 kcal with no sense of LOC and no vomiting.
