Through a Systematic Review of Literature we return to the literature on Binge Eating Disorder (BED) between 2006 and 2016, to characterize and discuss the productions on the subject. A search was made in the databases SciELO, Science Direct, Redalyc and Lilacs, using the descriptors «compulsão alimentar» and «transtorno de compulsão alimentar» and translations into the Spanish, French and English languages. Articles available for download in journals with Qualis CAPES A1, A2, B1 and B2 were included. The findings point to a trend towards the valorization of the biological character and aimed at the diagnosis from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, focusing on symptoms and treatments. The research landscape demonstrates the need for research that intends to comprehend the BED in a broad way and to evaluate the possible impacts of effectiveness as a disorder in the individuals involved and in the health practices that surround them.
