Abstract

This chapter examines the reasons and influence binge eating in Gen Z, by sharing the existing literature which explores the relationship between behavioral characteristics and eating behavior. This research focuses to enrich and develop the current state of understanding of the connects between lifestyle, behavioral and psychological reasons behind eating behavior. The study also aims to study the effect of subsequent eating in Gen Z. The existing literature studying the characteristics and lifestyle of Gen Z, being one of the major reasons behind binge eating, is extensively studied to develop the present chapter. The role of personality and lifestyle both impact eating behavior directly and indirectly. The study of psychological and physiological reasons behind this anomaly provided the road map for future study and suggesting remedial and preventive ways to Gen Z to avoid binge eating. The study can further be used for psychologists, physiologists, dieticians, parents, and Gen Z themselves.
