Um... my idea of a binge is eating most of a pint of B&Js on the first day of my period... once a month.  I don't eat fast food, takeout, fried food, or many carbs, have not had a donut, etc. in years, or cake or soda other than at a party.  If we go out it's usually sushi.  I map Chipotle when we travel so I won't get stuck with regular fast food, and get a salad, not a burrito.  My diet is mostly the so-called superfoods, prepared from scratch, heavy on the veggies for all three meals. I snack on veg, fruit and nuts and have a couple of drinks per week, max.  Your comment about two large fries made me throw up a little - that stuff makes me queasy.  It's a nonfood of last resort.

When I talked to a dietitian, she pointed out that I need to eat more calories to bump up my metabolism.  I can't figure out how.  I don't want to eat crap or stuff myself.

And yes, I'm a foodie.  Quality and taste are important and that means LESS food, not more.  This isn't something I've been doing for a short time.  It's the way I was raised and live all the time.

I weigh 235.  Go ahead.  Tell me it's the Ben & Jerry's.  [/quote]

I won't tell you it's the B&Js but I will tell you that there is no way you are eating proper portions and the "right" foods or you would not weight over 200lbs.  It's physically impossible unless you had a rare medical condition.

I have to agree with the other posters.  Some of what you describe is healthy but with a few VERY unhealthy habits thrown in which makes me suspect you are not telling the whole truth about what you are eating or you don't really know to what extent you are eating.

Like those trying to set a budget when they don't know where their money is going, I suggest you keep a food diary.  I've used composition book before (not as tempted to rip out pages I didn't like) and write down everything you eat for a week or two.  Be completely honest and I bet you will see that you are eating either too much food, too large of portions at one time, or the wrong foods too many times in a week.

A pint of ice cream would make me throw up.  You mention Chipotle as your go-to fast food place but it's really not that healthy unless you get a salad with all veggies and nothing else (cheese, sour cream, guac).  Also, try eating 5 smaller meals a day instead of 3 larger meals and possibly binging at night.  Limit your fruits and fruit juices as well as certain nuts (lots of calories).  Limit your drinking as well to start.

You are correct that some people limit their calories too much and the body goes into starve mode and holds on to fat, but you said this has been a long time lifestyle which can't be true.  Eventually you would have lost weight if you kept you calories way below requirements for your weight.
