Answer 1

Here is a match for each description with the corresponding eating disorder or disordered eating practice:

1. Kume - Anorexia Nervosa
   Kume's obsession with weight loss, food restriction, low weight, and the absence of menstrual periods fit the criteria for anorexia nervosa.

2. Petros - Bulimia Nervosa
   Petros experiences episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors (exercising for hours), which is characteristic of bulimia nervosa.

3. Samantha - Night Eating Syndrome
   Samantha's pattern of bingeing at night and feeling isolated can be categorized as night eating syndrome, especially as she indicates that a significant portion of her caloric intake occurs at that time.

4. Brianna - Binge Eating Disorder
   Even though Brianna engages in binge eating, she does not participate in any compensatory behaviors, which aligns with binge eating disorder.

5. Celeste - Female Athlete Triad
   Celeste's weight loss due to food restriction, absence of menstruation (amenorrhea), and her involvement in a competitive sport relate to the female athlete triad.
