Objective: Given limited data on the diagnostic validity of binge eating disorder (BED) in adolescents, this study sought to characterize overweight adolescents according to types of overeating episodes. Method: Ninety‐six adolescents (ages 13–17 years) with recurrent binge eating (BE), loss of control with or without overeating (subclinical BE; SUB), overeating without loss of control (OE), and no overeating or loss of control episodes (CONTROL) were compared on weight/shape concerns and depressive symptoms using ANCOVA and post‐hoc least squares difference tests. Results: BE and SUB adolescents had higher weight/shape concern scores than OEs and CONTROLs ( p s < .01). BE and SUB adolescents had higher depression scores than CONTROL adolescents ( p s < .05). BE adolescents had greater depression scores than OE ( p < .01) but not SUB adolescents. Conclusion: Loss of control over eating signals increased impairment independent of overeating in adolescents. Results support refining BED criteria for youth to reflect this distinction. © 2007 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Eat Disord, 2008
