No: Binge eating disorder is characterized by eating large quantities of food, rapidly and often to the point of pain. There's a sense of a loss of control during the binge and intense feelings of shame and guilt. Bingeing when compensatory measures to get rid of the food, such as vomiting, laxatives, exercise, is a feature of bulimia.
