Eating & body
Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2)
Four results: how much you eat in tune with your body.
About this test
Intuitive eating means eating in response to your body's hunger and fullness signals rather than to diet rules or emotions. This test gives four separate results: giving yourself unconditional permission to eat, eating for physical rather than emotional reasons, relying on hunger and fullness cues, and choosing foods that suit your body. Higher scores mean more intuitive eating, which research links with better body image and well-being.
Frequently asked questions
What is intuitive eating?
Eating guided by your body's internal hunger and fullness signals rather than by strict diet rules or emotions. It is linked with better body image and less disordered eating.
Is a higher score better?
Generally yes — higher scores mean eating more in tune with your body. It is a description, not a diagnosis, and is not a substitute for advice from a professional.
