Eating is not meant to be "for fun". You're only supposed to eat what you need when you need it. by definition bingeing is eating to excess, which is not normal
Anything within the minimum amount required to keep me comfortably alive; Sustenance. more specifically avoiding empty calories.
Do you disagree that eating is not meant to be for pleasure? I suppose its ok to indulge occasionally, especially if you use the extra calories. but eating excessively does not sound like a "normal" passtime.
Of course it is possible to enjoy food without eating to excess, but the definition of binge is to "indulge in an activity, especially eating, to excess."
...why would you want to know that? I don't have any daily menu, I just eat little bits through out the day that'll maintain my energy level while not letting too many calories go to waste. whole grains, dairy, egg, nuts, etc. never claimed to be perfect but I try to follow the recommendations
I ask because the wording of your first sentence seemed to indicate that eating was not meant to be pleasurable at all - that food is not meant to be enjoyed.
"Eating is not meant to be "for fun"."
My point was that you can enjoy a meal, or even look forward to eating a particular thing, without it being in excess, and was enquiring as to whether you eat the same bland things over and over because it's not meant to be "fun".
You're right I probably worded it poorly, as looking back, if food were not meant to be somewhat fun we would not have recipes, cooking shows, desserts, etc.
I honestly do eat the same bland things over and over on my own, I feel like food is only enjoyable when prepared by someone else but that's just me.
Ever heard of the term FOODIE? People who enjoy food and eat because its fun and gives them happiness. That's me. I have no idea why I forgot to put that on the post but that's pretty much what I am, a foodie. So its not all serious like you make it seem, "eat what you need." Yeah you're supposed to feed yourself the necessary nutrients but then food is also meant to be enjoyed and its a part of life and that's how I feel about it.
IIN if I don't think binge eating is bad ?

It's possible to enjoy food without eating to excess.
I meant, like, what's an example of your daily menu.

Perhaps I read too much into it. My bad.

Binge means eating excessively. It's fine to enjoy food and even to overeat occasionally, but regularly eating to excess is not really a normal hobby.
