PLEASE HELP :( MAJOR BINGE

I NORMALLY NET 1800 CALS TODAY I NETTED 2600 I KNOW WHAT A BINGE IS IM NOT AN IDIOT

You claim to not be mentally deficient but seem to think 2600-1800=600?

I honestly, from the bottom of my heart, think something in the statement I just typed must be untrue. I'd elaborate further but I actually obey the forum rules and I'm not looking for any mod crackdown today.

Oh my god. I was saying I ate over maintenance. I wasn't counting how many I ate over my usual net cals. It's not that hard to understand.

apparently, it is.

I've deleted and remade like 50 times because this site is triggering my ED but it also helps me stay on track don't assume I'm some noob who feels the need to bother everyone I'm genuinely concerned

I do not mean this to be rude, but if this site is triggering your ED then why do you keep coming back? I think you should seek professional help to really start working on getting better from your ED because clearly I do not think you are recovered or in recovery. Reason I say that? You're freaking out over 600 calories.

ok real talk:

if you are always eating at a deficit (I presume) to lose 1/2 to 2lbs per week as per this sites options, you are eating at a weekly deficit of
1750-7000 calories. (b/c 3500 cals under = 1lb of weight lost)

You were over your MAINTENANCE cals by only 60O on this one single day.

Can you see how 600 extra calories over maintenance is not even enough to damage a weight loss goal of 1/2 lbs lost per week?

it's because 600 is LESS than 1750, the amount you'd need to be under for the week in order to lose 1/2 lb.

Make sense?

Perhaps this would be the time to realize you need to step away from the internet and go talk to your counselor.

:laugh: It took me a few to understand the period thing.

Seriously OP...it wasn't a major binge and even if it was one time isn't going to make you gain 500 pounds.

So after long periods of restricting this past week I gave in a binged a few times...going over maintenance once or twice by 200 cals. Then today I blew it and went over by 600 cals. If I stay under the rest of the week can I not gain any weight from this?

Alright, let's break it down.

To gain one pound of fat you would have to eat not only maintenance, but 3,500 fatty calories (roughly) OVER maintenance (and probably more, since the body is a funny thing I don't pretend to understand.)
200 twice is 400.
Over 600? Let's say 800.

That's 1,200 extra calories in the last week. 1,200/7 is 171.4 (and some change). Technically since your first 'binge' day (which I gather was a week ago?) until today you've consumed 171-172 calories a day.
If you've been as good as you say you have then you most likely won't see any number increase on the scale. In fact if your metabolism/body are a little on the sensitive side you might have shocked your metabolism into burning a bit extra every day by giving yourself more.
Even if that possibility doesn't ring out true for you, a woman's body burns more calories a day while menstruating then it does other times in her cycle. Not a huge amount but I *THINK* 75-175 extra calories a day? There's some science behind this I just don't know where to look. So, honestly, you probably broke even, if not slid in just under.

Take deep breath, drink a glass of water, and smile.
Stay away from that scale until all your menstrual water retention is gone and then see where you're at.

Edited for clarification.

200-600 calories is NOT a binge, let alone a major one. If you are set for a one pound per week weight loss, at 200 calories over, you lose about 1/2 pound per week... At 600 per day, you would gain a pound in about 35 weeks... I regularly go over some but it is ok; it balances in the end. You should be just fine... Now, if you have been on a major restriction you may see an increase in water weight but this will go away as quickly as it came. Try to relax. Balance in all things.
