The calculator in question is the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition) diagnostic criteria for Binge Eating Disorder (BED). This calculator is used by mental health professionals to diagnose binge eating disorder in individuals of all ages. 

The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for BED is a set of specific behavioral and emotional signs and symptoms that must be present for a certain duration and frequency. These include recurrent episodes of binge eating characterized by both eating a larger amount of food than normal during a short time period (e.g., within any 2-hour period), and lack of control over eating during the binge episode. 

The clinical utility of this calculator is to provide a standardized method for diagnosing BED, which can guide appropriate treatment strategies. It is important to note that this calculator should be used by trained mental health professionals and is not intended for self-diagnosis. 

There are no specific exclusion criteria for its use, but it should not be used to diagnose other types of eating disorders or mental health conditions. It is also important to note that the presence of another co-existing psychiatric or medical condition does not exclude the diagnosis of BED, but these conditions should be managed concurrently.

DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for binge eating disorder

A. Eating, in a discrete period of time (within any 2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than what most people would eat in a similar period of time under similar circumstances
B. A sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating)
# Binge eating episodes are associated with:
C. Eating much more rapidly than normal
D. Eating until feeling uncomfortably full

# Other characteristics:
H. Marked distress regarding binge eating
I. Binge eating occurs, on average, at least once a week for 3 months
J. Binge eating is not associated with the recurrent use of inappropriate compensatory behavior as in bulimia nervosa and does not occur exclusively during the course of bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa
## Frequency of episodes of binge eating (episodes/week)
K. 1-3
L. 4-7
M. 8-13
N. >= 14
## Remission
O. After full criteria were previously met, binge eating occurs at an average frequency of < 1 episode/week for a sustained period of time
