### **Overview** The **Eating Inventory** is a psychological assessment tool designed to measure various aspects of eating behavior and attitudes toward food. It assesses three key dimensions: cognitive restraint (the conscious restriction of food intake), disinhibition (tendency to overeat in response to emotional cues), and hunger (susceptibility to feelings of hunger). ### **Applications** The Eating Inventory is often used in both clinical and research settings to assess disordered eating patterns, including conditions like obesity, anorexia, and bulimia. It helps clinicians develop treatment plans by identifying maladaptive eating behaviors and attitudes that may contribute to weight management or eating disorders. #Psychological-Test
