Advice Please

Hi! I binged for 4 days. I calculated that if I eat 1, 450 calories a day for 5 days that this will allow me to keep my weekly intake. However, I usually eat 1750 or more a less on one day. By lessining it, will this be a bad idea? I gained 5 pounds from binging, maybe even seven. Ah! But I am asking if it is bad to lower calorie intake even though thats what it is for the week?

yes BAD BAD BAD BAD idea.

Let me tell you from personal experience and something i am sure others will tell you.

DO NOT RESTRICT. This will only lead to more bingeing in the future.

You do not want to enter the BINGE-RESTRICT cyle.. and as much as you think it wont happen again, restricting LEADS to bingeing!

Start fresh tomorrow and eat 1750 calories ..it a few weeks your weight will be back to normal.

You seem calorie-savvy, so I will let you run through the numbers yourself, but if all you have to do to "undo the damage" is eat a few hundred calories less for a few days, the damage cannot have been 5-7 lbs of weight gain.  5-7 lbs takes 3-7 weeks to reverse. 

Count the extra calories that you ate, add them up, and divide by 3500, and you cannot have gained more than 1-2 lbs.  Please realize that the extra 4-6 lbs you are seeing on the scale is likely to be water weight, especially if you binged on caffeinated beverages, salty foods, and/or alcohol. 

Stop freaking out, eat normally, and if it's really bugging you, exercise a little more (by a little, I mean 50-100 calories worth, nothing drastic).  Drink plenty of water and you should be back on track in no time at all. 

I agree that you should just forget about those days that you binged and go back to your normal daily intake. Binging/restricting is a vicious cycle that I myself have been through, and it's not worth it! Just take a deep breath and jump back on the wagon. I bet you anything those 5 lbs. or so are mostly salt and/or water, and after a couple days of eating your normal calories, that bloat will disappear. Just drink 64+ oz. of water a day and you'll clean yourself out. Good luck!
