 Plan for missing data: data were obtained for all 166 BED-patients using Mandometer at home and for all 354 BED-patients subesequently using Mandometer in treatment; missing data is not a problem and inconsistent data or out-of-range results have not been obtained. While it is thought that BN- and BED-patients can eat very large amounts of food, an intake of 1900 g of food has been obtained once in one patient only, the average intake is approximately 430 g in hundreds of test meals on BED-patients.
