Figure 1

The number of difficulties by eating self-efficacy categories and gender. The difficulties are classified as follows: low cognitive restraint (the tertile with the lowest scores), high uncontrolled eating (the tertile with the highest scores), high emotional eating (the tertile with the highest scores), and moderate or high severity of binge eating (merged). Each of these variables forms one difficulty, therefore the total range of difficulties can vary from 0 to 4. The difference between low ESE and high ESE was tested with Pearson Chi-Square Test, P < 0.001.
