food binge
Uncontrolled eating episode
A food binge is an episode of eating large quantities in a short time, typically driven by emotional distress rather than hunger.
The term carries clinical weight in contexts like binge eating disorder, but also describes more casual overindulgence: I went on a food binge after my breakup.
The behavior often involves losing control and eating past the point of fullness.
