I'm a late-day eater/snacker. Because I work out of the house, it's easy for me to control food intake during the day. Once I get home, I honestly eat about 80% of my calories. It works for me. I guess it's almost a form of intermittent fasting?[/quote]

It honestly sounds like a form of binge eating that you manage harm reduction for.

Maybe? But I'm just not hungry early in the day, and I don't like going to sleep hungry. Different strokes for different folks! If I've maintained for a decade, then it clearly works well for me. [/quote]

For sure. It just goes to show that even a self-described success story has to engage in disordered behaviors to maintain. Which is totally consistent with the long term data for weight loss maintainers, of course. [/quote]

Eating once a day is not disordered. Everyone is not the same. Nobody should eat when they aren’t hungry. That’s what is disordered. [/quote]

Hmm. Binge eating once at night rather than fueling your body throughout the day is a big red flag for disordered eating. Paired with a history of disordered eating (overeating/obesity) that’s a strong indicator of an ongoing eating disorder. Of course anyone engaging in these behaviors should discuss it with a qualified eating disorder specialist and not self-diagnose. [/quote]

OP eating 80% of her calories in the evening is not binge eating. If she's eating 80% of 1500 calories, that's a large meal, but only 1200 calories. [/quote]

Respectfully, OP is describing a daily bingeing episode after spending all day able to “control” her food then losing that control after work. Classic description of disordered eating:

I eat like this too.  I'm a healthy weight but I it's easier for me to control my eating early in the day.  I generally eat 500-600 calories combined over breakfast and lunch and then save 1000 for dinner and dessert.  It helps me manage my tendency to over-eat at night because I have the calorie budget to eat a decent portion of what my family is eating, and have a dessert.[/quote]
