Explanation

Bulimia nervosa can involve compensatory behaviors intended to prevent weight gain after binge eating. These may include excessive exercise, self-induced vomiting, and misusing laxatives in large amounts. Increasing protein or taking performance-enhancing supplements is not characteristic of bulimia nervosa by itself.
