What term is describing a binge eater?

The term describing a binge eater is "binge eating disorder" (BED). This psychological condition is characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food, often to the point of discomfort, accompanied by feelings of loss of control and distress. Unlike bulimia, individuals with BED do not engage in compensatory behaviors like vomiting or excessive exercise. Treatment often involves therapy, nutritional guidance, and sometimes medication.
