Do certain foods sometimes feel hard to stop eating? The modified Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 (mYFAS 2.0), developed at the University of Michigan, asks 13 questions about addiction-like eating over the past 12 months. It takes about three minutes and shows how many of the eleven signs you reported, the scale's severity level and practical next steps, with no diet advice.

When the following questions ask about “CERTAIN FOODS” please think of ANY foods or beverages similar to those listed in the food or beverage groups above or ANY OTHER foods you have had difficulty with in the past year.

I ate to the point where I felt physically ill.
I spent a lot of time feeling sluggish or tired from overeating.
I avoided work, school or social activities because I was afraid I would overeat there.
If I had emotional problems because I hadn’t eaten certain foods, I would eat those foods to feel better.
My eating behavior caused me a lot of distress.
I had significant problems in my life because of food and eating. These may have been problems with my daily routine, work, school, friends, family, or health.
My overeating got in the way of me taking care of my family or doing household chores.
I kept eating in the same way even though my eating caused emotional problems.
Eating the same amount of food did not give me as much enjoyment as it used to.
I had such strong urges to eat certain foods that I couldn’t think of anything else.
I tried and failed to cut down on or stop eating certain foods.
I was so distracted by eating that I could have been hurt (e.g., when driving a car, crossing the street, operating machinery).
My friends or family were worried about how much I overate.
