Binge Eating

[80spetitebabii]

I do a lot of high impact cardio because I want to look as lean as possible. I also weight train but no powerlifting. My problem is that I have a tendency to binge eat, then I'll have to turn around and go back to the gym, work extra hard because of the candy, burgers, pasta.. Etc... Should I eat 5 healthy meals per day? Or?

Help.

Eat as often or an seldom as you want. Meal timing makes little difference.

Nothing you explained strikes me as binge eating. Burgers, pasta sugar, etc are all perfectly fine food choices, and it's fine to eat it all at once. You may bloat a bit... but that's just gas and water (not fat). As long as your weight stays in a 2-5 lbs window you are maintaining.



Relax

I think you need to seek professional help to talk about this issue. Often we act out emotion / feelings in different ways, one of which could be an eating disorder. I am not saying you have an eating disorder, and I am not a medical professional. But there could be more to the issue than just diet plans, etc. Just something to think about.

You'll never be able to out train or out cardio the wrong nutritional plan. Without knowing how many calories you're consuming, it's impossible to give you any kind of honest feedback.

It will come down to hitting the proper amount of daily calories based on your goal. The times you eat, number of meals you eat and food choices make no difference in the end result.
