How bad is it to fast the day after eating twice my tdee?

when you go to eat again you are going to be starving and probably overeat

get healthier eating habits

The only way I find to control myself is to take note of everything on paper. I stopped doing that because my gf said I had an eating disorder so I stopped and look what happened I binged on 2000 calories of cereal.
I'm going back to writing everything down so I'll still be below maintenance but just want to undo the damage with a fast. It'll work in theory, right?

Eeh I don't see myself doing it in the long run but thanks. I was just trying to gauge if it's safe to fast completely for a day and I guess it must be if that's advocating it several times a week.

Its probably better if you stay on track and eat whatever your daily goal is. That way you do not expend excess of will power on not eating anything at which can lead to you over eating more easily the next days. You also practice eating at your daily goal and you practice at building consistency.

You want consistency and not jo-jo dieting where you go from overeating to eating nothing and then back to overeating and then back eating nothing. That is not consistency. Fuck ups happen and they will happen again but don't try to compensate for them, compensation is not consistency.

You might want to consider it. Your fat will fall off you without autistically tracking what you eat.

Sounds like you do have an eating disorder desu. You've gotta do what works for you as long as you're still eating enough to be healthy.

Yeah I used to be a fatty so I've no doubt I have an eating disorder. Doing IIFYM but filling it with healthy foods has been a great way, the only way I've found, to improve how I look at food. Problem is I have to track everything to know what macros I have left to fill, which obviously looks weird to everyone around me

As long as your gf isn't fat and you're not a skeleton, you could explain tracking your food is how you keep your disorder under control.

Getting one of those apps to track calories instead of paper might make you look less weird as well, especially if you've been doing it in public.

This is the right answer.
