    when i eat more than i am supposed to, usually not recording foods on mfp due to the binge-regret.

    a whole day of eating goodies. if i go over 200-300 cals i dont feel i binged so much as just need to make up for it.

    a binge to me is going over by 1000 cals or more.

    Eating an entire cheesecake.

    Binge eating is any episode of uncontrollable eating typically followed by shame and guilt. Aside from the common emotional related binges, binge eating can also result from eating too little or turning down temptation a lot in one day. Physiologically speaking, we only have the resources to abstain from what we want a certain amount. The more you say no, the more likely you are to say yes the next time. You are at the most danger of giving in to temptation not at the birthday party where you were surrounded by food, but once you get home after an entire day of silently saying no to yourself.
