    The person who came up with those definitions was pretty creative. If I had to put myself in one of those boxes, it would be 4, but I would've liked the definition much more if it didn't include so much effete editorializing.

    I'd say none/level 5, but I have aspects of 2 and 4.

    I eat for hunger (level 2), pleasure (not emotional eating) and for whatever suits my goals (none of the levels) I try to include a decent amount of "healthy" food such as fruit and veg, that gives me good micros and fibre (level 4) but it's not always like that, it's a work in progress. I prefer well planned, home cooked meals over fast food/packaged meals (I guess a little of level 4 there) I also eat for convenience (none of the levels)...This doesn't mean fast food, just home cooked meals that fit around my lifestyle / don't take up a lot of time.

    Elements of 1,2 and 4. What a weird idea that eating for pleasure or eating to allay hunger are 'immature'. I would say they were natural impulses and that eating at 'Level 4' was making eating far less enjoyable by making it a purely mental exercise.

    I just ate some melon for the sheer pleasure of it. Next I might have a wholemeal, organic muffin to make me feel less hungry. I might have a bit of chocolate, for the anti-oxidants, the pleasure and the knowledge that it's fair trade so less harmful to my fellow man.

    I'm a fairly intelligent, hungry hedonist and I'm not comfortable with ranking my eating choices so that pleasure and satiety become negative.
