Range of points:

0–20 points: Normal attitude toward food
This score range indicates that you do not have noticeable eating behavior disorders, and your overall attitude toward food and your body is healthy. It means that you generally maintain rational eating habits and are not prone to excessive calorie restriction or other unhealthy food-related practices.

20–30 points: Moderate signs of concern about eating
If your score falls within this range, it may indicate that you have some concerning signs regarding your relationship with food or your body. This does not necessarily mean you have a serious eating disorder, but you may be experiencing stress related to food or feelings of guilt after eating certain foods. This is a good time to reconsider your eating habits and possibly consult a specialist to prevent more serious issues.

30 points or more: High risk of eating disorder
If you score more than 30 points, it indicates a high risk of an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. In this case, it is important to pay attention to your eating habits and psychological well-being. It is recommended to seek help from a specialist (psychologist, dietitian, or psychotherapist) to receive support and develop an action plan to improve your relationship with food and your health.

If your test result is 20 points or more, I recommend watching the lecture «Розлади харчової поведінки та порушення харчової поведінки», which will help you understand the causes of eating disorders and provide guidance for restoring a healthy lifestyle.
