[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding the binging - how much food does she eat during the day? Restricting calories too much during the day (or, when busy with kids and life, forgetting to eat) and not getting enough protein, fat, complex carbs, and veggies/fruit can lead to binging later at night when the kids are in bed and you realize you’re starving.

I have to make sure I eat enough during the day so that I don’t go nuts at night when I finally get a break. [/quote]

OP here. She eats the normal amount as always. I would say maybe 1800 calories a day, sometimes 2000 on hard workout days. We don’t really count calories. We eat protein, carbs, and fiber at every meal - 3 meals a day + 1-2 snacks. We focus on healthy things like eggs and avocado or oatmeal and nuts for breakfast, salads with vegetables and protein for lunch, protein, vegetables, and a healthy carb at dinner. Snacks are geek yogurt with berries and granola, cracker and cheese, veggies or crackers with hummus and guacamole, nuts, a protein bar, etc. I cook almost all of our foods. We both work from home and I prepare breakfast and dinner for us while she usually grabs her own lunch. She has always eaten the same.

This past week she had gone through two pints of ice cream, a bag of m&ms, a bag of Hershey’s miniatures, about 6 big cookies, and two bags of popcorn. She drinks 1-2 cans of pop every night with the late night snack.
