TI  - The nutrient intake of women with bulimia nervosa.
PG  - 115-27
AB  - OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the meal patterns and 
      nutrient intake of women with bulimia nervosa (BN), and to compare them to 
      clinical variables and recommended dietary allowances (RDA). METHOD: The nutrient 
      intake of 50 women with BN was analyzed from 14 day dietary records. The data 
      were compared to the median intakes of a random sample of women and to the RDA. 
      Clinical variables for the women with BN were also available. RESULTS: Compared 
      to nonbinge episodes per day, binge eating was significantly higher in energy 
      from sucrose, fat, saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids 
      (MUFA) and lower in protein. Compared to the population median, binge eating was 
      significantly lower in percent energy from protein, and higher in percent 
      carbohydrate (CHO), sucrose, SFA, and MUFA, while nonbinge eating was 
      significantly lower in percent energy from fat, SFA, and MUFA. Total intakes were 
      significantly higher in energy and percent energy sucrose compared to the 
      population. Despite significantly lower nonbinge energy intake, calcium, vitamins 
      A and C, iron, and folate were not significantly different to the population 
      median. However, one half or more of the subjects had less than two-thirds the 
      RDA for nonbinge calcium, iron, zinc and for total intake one fourth remained 
      less than two-thirds the RDA for iron and zinc. CONCLUSION: Nonbinge eating was 
      characterized by low energy intake and by low intake of iron, calcium, and zinc. 
      Binge eating, characterized by high sucrose and SFA content, overcompensated for 
      these low energy intakes. Where treatment reduces or eliminates binge eating, it 
      should also encourage consumption of regular meals and in particular, consumption 
      of foods rich in zinc and iron.
