'Adequate binging'? Which are your binge foods? Will you replace your binge foods for non-refined alternative foods?

Could ever exist the idea of "adequate binging ? To believers and non-believers, it could be a possibility to have large intakes of food while training any given sport (competitive or recreational).

The term 'adequate' will refers to non refined foods (raw, cooked, boiled, simmered, etc) easily found in markets prepared at home or at your favorite restaurant.

If you're wandering about which foods will you might 'binge' on think about food like beans and legume products, beef, cereal, grains, dairy, fish and seafood products, fruits or vegetables.

Commonly everyday food, consumed according to your own needs in ratios set-up by you to support your daily calorie expenditure.

Binging is eating a large quantity of food in a short amount of time in an uncontrollable manner, usually accompanied by feelings of fear and guilt. You can binge on unrefined food, but often binges involve high fat or high sugar foods.

So no, there is no such thing as "adequate binging". You are either binging or you are not, and no binging is a good idea. I don't see how your description of "everyday food, consumed according to your own needs in ratios set-up by you to support your daily calorie expenditure" has the slightest thing to do with binging.

If you are eating a lot in a healthy manner to support your body during sports training, it's not binging.

Binging, even on healthy food, is always a bad idea. It messes you up in ways psychological and physical. I used to binge on fruit and vegetables to the point where I was consuming five kilograms of food every day. I felt bloated, uncomfortable and lethargic. Because I was eating so much low-calorie food I was overriding the normal satiety indicators between the stomach and brain: my stomach was saying "no more, I surrender", while the brain was saying "I cannot do it captain, I haven't got the power". Its taken me years to regain some semblance of normal eating.

Don't do it. Nothing in excess is good. You can even die of water poisoning if you drink too much water.

I second this post.

I was carried away while writing the "adequate binging" post by my recent gaining weight phase (bulk-up phase) I'm on.

I should have thought about being specific while I was writing the post referring to a 'bulk-up phase' instead to "binging".

I'm pleased (happy) with this recent weight gaining phase I'm on, I feel energetic and committed to my workouts and at school. I feel focused and consuming large food intakes  in a three hour time schedule height times in a regular day gives me enough energy to accomplish homework, workouts and other everyday activities.
