Binge-like intake of a sweet fat diet and chow hypophagia in singly housed rats with chow feeder pre-presentation. Two consecutive 10-min feeding sessions were performed, with all rats receiving standard chow from the 1st feeder. Binge rats received the sweet fat diet in the 2nd feeder, whereas chow rats again received standard chow. Data are expressed as M±SEM in panel a) 10-min intake (kcal) of standard chow from the 1st feeder is reduced in binge rats in anticipation of receiving the sweet fat diet from the 2nd feeder. b) Binge rats escalate 10-min intake of the sweet fat diet from the 2nd feeder at levels comparable to those seen in group-housed animals with only a single feeder presentation. c) Ad libitum home cage intake of standard chow during the intervening time between binge sessions was decreased in binge rats. d) Total daily combined intake of both standard chow and the highly palatable diet. Binge rats consumed more kcal cumulatively across the study period than chow rats. Differs from chow *p<0.05, **p<0.01, and ***p<0.001.
