How many calories do you think you usually eat when you go off track and binge?

    I have actually tracked my calories the last few times I binged...

    One day it was 5,355 calories total. The other day was 4,310 calories. I felt like tracking it made me feel more accountable and I am hoping it will be a start of the process to eliminate binge eating.

    In the past I have had worse binges that I am sure resulted in higher calories counts, but never tracked it.

    I have only had "very small" binges this week and I tracked most of the time. This is not even 50% of what I would normally binge on.And I could be missing stuff as well. This is with zero exercise :(

    The amounts this past week were: 3330, 4488, 2121 (no binging day with this total). I have only logged the past 5 days or so and missed writing about half the day on two of them.

    My binging can also be thousands and thousands depending on how I'm feeling.

    Back in the day....I can't even begin to tell you. The highest binge for the last 6 months was around 3,000 for the whole day give or take a few.....and I average around 1900 most days anyway so this has come a really long way since fast food and dessert binges of the past which I would guess would be in the 5000+ range.

    I'd say for me, that eating about 1000-2000 calories over maintenance would count as a binge for me...so 3500-4500 calories. I do track it to see how it affects my overall losses or gains.

    This would be a great thred for all those poor girls (well, mostly girls) who think eating an extra piece of cake constitutes a binge. :noway: :frown:

    I actually don't think I have binged since using MFP, and if I did it was while I was at a buffet or while living without internet at home to track it properly.

    Surely you have days with intense cravings when you eat a LOT more than 'normal', no? I think that would constitute a binge.

    Knock on wood, I haven't binged since I got serious about my weight loss. In the old days, I know I could easily knock back 6000-8000 calories on a bad day. The worst part is during a binge I ate so mindlessly I didn't even taste the food.
