How did you help yourself stop binge eating?

Yea, at that training level you need the extra calories. I don't know what the rest of your diet looks like so I'm not sure what else you are eating. To raise you protein level i would try things like peanut butter, Beef jerky, and protein shakes, Other may have other suggestions for high protein foods. The Hungry Man tv dinners seem to be fairly high in protein as well.

Given that your exercise regimen is outside the norm I would check with a diet specialist to see what your cal count should look like. The cookie cutter responses just don't apply to you. Try and find one that deals with athletes regularly.

Also, I've learned to ignore the sales. A sale isn't a sale If i eat my entire stockpile in one go. Which is why I only buy pizzas one at a time now and never when I'm hungry. Which is also a good Idea. Never go shopping when you are hungry.

I log everything right after I eat it then set my timer for an hour or two. when the timer goes off I can eat something else (but usually when the timers gone off ive forgotten about food and im doing something else and not interested in eating anymore) pay attention to my belly. am I actually hungry? or just bored?

I have been really on track the last few weeks, but last night I binged on pizza. well 2 slices, but it was too much and I had the worst stomach ache and couldn't sleep. totally reminded me how bad binging makes me feel physically and mentally. I used to do it almost every day.

Thanks for the tips, I really didn't save any money on the ice cream at all just $12 gone in three days lol.

I still do it. I did today. Managed to stop myself after 300 calories though, so I guess it could have been worse. Typically the only way is to get my mind off food... Either go read a book (doesn't always work) or go for a walk (wasn't convenient at all today).

Yeah it is a challenge, I'll try to play video games or something but its hard because it doesn't always occupy my mind enough. Wish I could go for a walk but I live in Wisconsin and it is dangerously cold outside.

As some have said, eat at a smaller deficit. Now that I eat a reasonable amount of food, I don't binge. I also eat something if I'm truly hungry.
