Restrained eaters had significantly lower hemoglobin levels (12.9 +/- 0.1 g/dl) compared to unrestrained eaters (13.2 +/- 0.1 g/dl; p <.05), but both values were within the normal range.
Practitioners should monitor hemoglobin levels in restrained eaters, as they may be lower but still within normal limits.
