Preferred term

counterregulation of eating  

Definition

  • Definition Counterregulation of eating refers to a situation in which an individual eats more after having eaten something previously than after having eaten nothing at all. This pattern of intake runs contrary to the regulation (or compensatory, reduced eating) that we would normally expect and thus is referred to as counterregulation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Counterregulation of Eating]
