<s>[INST] What is emotional eating? [/INST] Emotional eating is the consumption of food triggered by a negative emotion, generally in stressful situations, when there is actually no physiological need for nutrients. Under these circumstances, people usually have a craving for foods with a high calorie content (sweets, ice cream, chocolate, crisps, etc.) and very little nutritional value.
