"eating. Some eat too much at their meals, and some eat between meals whenever the temptation is presented. CT 297.3"
Related principle 85% Proverbs 23:20
"Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:"
Both passages address overeating. Proverbs warns against being among 'riotous eaters,' while EGW speaks against eating too much at meals or between meals.
Likely biblical basis 70% 1 Corinthians 6:12
"All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."
While not a direct quote, the principle of not being brought under the power of anything (as stated in 1 Corinthians 6:12) can be applied to overeating and the temptation to eat. EGW's statement about eating habits relates to this principle of self-control.
