Eating Inventory Constructs [3]
Restraint	Conscious restriction of energy intake to prevent weight gain or promote weight loss by, for example, counting calories and purchasing low calorie food items
Disinhibition	Tendency to overeat in response to different stimuli and triggers
Hunger	Susceptibility to eat in response to perceived physiological symptoms that signal the need for food
Eating Inventory Subscales of Bond et al. [25]
Restraint
Strategic Dieting Behavior	Behaviors that might be used to control weight (e.g. deliberately taking small helpings)
Attitude to Self-Regulation	Overarching perspective on eating and weight control (e.g. feeling that life is too short to worry about dieting)
Avoidance of Fattening Foods	Dieting behavior which limits calorie-dense foods
Disinhibition
Habitual Susceptibility	Recurrent disinhibition triggered by routine circumstances
Emotional Susceptibility	Disinhibition associated with negative affective states
Situational Susceptibility	Disinhibition initiated by specific environmental cues (e.g. social occasions)
Hunger
Internal Locus for Hunger	Hunger that is interpreted and regulated internally
External Locus for Hunger	Hunger that is triggered by external cues
Restraint Subscales of Westenhoefer [26]
Flexible Restraint	An adaptable approach to dieting, where forbidden foods can be eaten in limited quantities without guilt
Rigid Restraint	A dichotomized “all-or-nothing” approach to eating and dieting, where individuals diet frequently and avoid forbidden foods, but exhibit behaviors that do not support their dieting goals (e.g. not reducing meal size, not compensating for deviations from the diet)
