2,200 calories.
I finished today at 2,200 calories, which is way over my goal of 1,500. I couldn't stop myself from eating. I limited myself to clean foods all day and then around dinner time I had some cheese... then peanut butter... then a couple of protein bars... ice cream... chocolate. And I couldn't stop! I feel so out of control…

Just struggling...
After limiting myself to "clean" foods all day (i.e. vegetables and fruit..), I caved at dinner and had goat cheese and proceeded to binge on ice cream, peanut butter, greek yogurt and FOUR quest bars! Not healthy in the slightest.. I am so numb and so upset. Completing today at upwards of 2,500 calories.. I am so angry…

Am I eating too much?
I have a history with an eating disorder and tend to "save" my calories until the evening. Looking back on my diary I know that I am not eating that much, but it always feels like a lot. The guilt is the worst... I guess I'm just looking for reassurance.

Heeeellllllooo all. After being on MFP for a few years now (between this and my other account) I have decided to surround myself with HEALTHY individuals.

Thoughts on "cleansing" ?
So for a while now I've been meaning and wanting to do a "cleanse" ; only drinking hot tea and lemon water (just for a day). What are your thoughts on this?

Will Protein Make You Fat?
I know any excess calories lead to weight gain BUT if the calories come from protein sources rather than carbs, does weight gain still result? Does an abundance of protein lead to fat storage? I guess I'm just kind of lost when it comes to the molecular aspects of macros.

I love em' all!

Feeling really guilty for my intake today :/

Is it weird that I genuinely LIKE to feel hungry?
Even before I ever struggled with an eating disorder I liked the feeling of being hungry... I still do. But I also LOVE to eat! I hate being full (it takes very little to fill me up), however. Idk...

Breakfast ideas?
Hi guys! Just curious as to what some of your favorite (healthy) breakfasts are! Breakfast is such a hard meal for me, as I tend to feel guilty for eating early in the day...

Calorie advice for active men?

Binges...
At the start of the summer I weighed around 105 pounds (I know that weight is very low for a 5'10" male..) was running almost everyday and felt pretty good about myself.

I generally eat mostly fruits and vegetables, but know I need to have more protein based foods... ANYWAY... I LOVE beef jerky. How much would you say is TOO much? I could easily eat…
