Would you consider this a binge?

I wouldn't call it a binge, sounds more like a refueling since you had just finished a hard workout. The Pringles were the only unhealthy thing you mentioned.

It may or may not be a "binge" because thats pretty personal and only you know what constitutes a binge for you. that being said, maybe you just needed food. I just looked at your food diary and you needed to eat. Your blood sugar was probably low and your body was calling out for carbs. Don't worry about this one meal, just try to focus on nutrition and plan your meals accordingly. Also you dont have your macros set to calculate fat, and you really should. Fat keeps you satisfied and keeps your blood sugar stable, helping prevent binge eating definitely don't worry about this though.

I wouldn't call that a binge. I understand that out of control feeling, but you stopped yourself after about 500 calories and you probably worked off more than that right before you ate. Don't stress. You'll feel fine in a couple hours.

At 5'6'', 110 lbs you are considered underweight. So, no, it's not a binge! You're starving!

No. Depending on how many calories you burned in the workout, I might call it "insufficient refueling".

However, one warning - hunger and thirst are easy to confuse, especially after a hard workout. If you haven't been guzzling water during your workout, drink a good amount of water immediately afterward. If you HAVE been guzzling water during, drink a modest amount after. Do this before you have any food.

Eat a small amount of food (a banana is my favorite, the sugars pick you up quickly, the potassium starts the body building muscle from your workout, etc). Then drink a little more water, slowly. See how full you feel. Eat another small amount of food. Drink another small amount of water. Take your time refueling and rehydrating. And be prepared to eat up to the number of calories you just burned, especially if you're running a weight-loss deficit. By "be prepared", I mean "have enough healthy food on hand" so you don't hit the vending machine and get empty useless nothings like Pringles.

i binged on 20 000 calories at a time when I was at my worst. I definitely wouldn't call that a binge...

Dear goodness me, 20,000? I don't think I could eat that in BACON in one sitting.

It took years of binge eating to stretch my stomach to accommodate 20 000 calories in a two/three hour sitting. i was in physical pain but couldn't stop eating and I eventually got hospitalized because doctors thought I had ruptured my stomach...

No. A true binge is compulsive, uncontrollable eating, usually eating over a thousand calories if not more in one sitting.

Nope large snack! lol

Sort of.

The lack of control sounds like a binge.

The amount of food, doesn't look like a binge. It looks like a meal.

There is no way that that's a binge. I mean, it's down to opinion, but personally, I know that when I've binged in the past, it's when I literally can't remember at least half of the things I ate, clearing out the cupboard and fridge, eating for the sake of eating, going through an entire day's worth/several days worth of food in one sitting..

Don't worry about what you've eaten. The best thing to do is to forgive yourself (if you are feeling guilty), and move on.

I would not consider this a binge. Binge eating is classified when there are frequent episodes of eating an abnormally large amount of food. I think what you did was just overeat. That happens to everyone. Here are characteristics that set binge eating aside from just plain overeating:

-Frequent episodes of eating what others would consider an abnormally large amount of food
-Frequent feelings of being unable to control what or how much is being eaten
-Eating much more rapidly than usual
-Eating until uncomfortably full
-Eating large amounts of food, even when not physically hungry
-Eating alone out of embarrassment at the quantity of food being eaten
-Feelings of disgust, depression, or guilt after overeating
-Fluctuations in weight
-Feelings of low self-esteem
-Loss of sexual desire
-Frequent dieting

Everyone overeats every once in a while, and that is perfectly normal. Maybe your body was just craving extra nutrition after your workout. Binge eating however, is triggered by emotions such as depression, boredom, or anxiety.

Don't beat yourself up

This! What you ate is probably 5% of the amount of food I'd consume in a typical binge. You'll be fine

You needed to eat--more importantly refuel. So no:) Things happen, sometimes we over snack but this isn't a binge.

Agree with the above. You are underweight, and wondering why your body was crying out for food after a hard workout?
Your body will rebel if you are under a natural weight, as a means of trying to preserve itself.
You needed food, and 500 calories is not what I, personally, would consider a binge, and nor would I consider what you did out of control. It speaks volumes that you were that uncomfortably full after that amount of food, to be honest.
Maybe you should be asking yourself if you have or are developing a very unhealthy relationship with food and weight.
