Binge eating

I've eaten loads and binge ate around 4500 calories today. I will return to eating about 1500 calories tomorrow. Would I have gained weight?

No. Only water weight really and food weight. If you do it every day is when it makes a difference.

Don't be hard on yourself. It is more like a refeed and will get your glycogen levels up. Drink lots of water to recover.

Honestly 1500 Cal's sounds too low!! Your binging is probably a result of it. If it continues then you may want to see a doctor. May be depression related (need to learn healthy coping through something like CBT) or a medical problem (low blood sugar or thyroid problem)

Good luck

Water/food weight, more than likely.
Actual weight... Depends. Look at your weekly numbers. Depending on your maintenance level and size of your deficit, you may still be under, you may be at maintenance or you might be over.

It's done now - no point stressing about it! Learn from it and move on.
