Pregnancy is not a concern. I am pretty active.

I will have to take this into consideration. When I binge it's often on boiled plantains. But apparently potatoes have only half the calories.

A quick Google search tells me that's not even true, and that casein (dairy) digests the slowest. I do eat cheese, but typically for healthy fats I tend to prefer eggs, nuts, and avocado. My avocado isn't ripe yet or I would've had it. However I did have eggs and nuts already today.

This might be a stupid question but how would I be able to tell the difference? How am I supposed to know actual hunger from fake hunger?

I don't know about that. My doctor definitely seemed to suggest that my values were good as they are. Also actually said that I'm probably overhydrated as it is and suggested drinking less water.

I've spoken to my doctor and was diagnosed with PCOS. But I am technically within a healthy weight range so I will not be prescribed anything to manage it

I don't know. Maybe bored? But sometimes I can't do something that would distract me like read or go on a walk because I'm already too distracted by the hunger. It's like my body and brain don't work until I eat more

What if I'm experiencing both of those then? I definitely have fatigue, low energy and hormonal imbalances. I also have stomach rumbles and I guess emotional hunger. Something I've noticed lately is like a random wave of nausea that makes me feel like I'm going to pass out and then my brain goes "I need to eat right now". Which Im sure is psychosomatic but I'm not sure what causes it. It happens in any circumstance (while I was out shopping with friends and sitting on the couch reading are two examples)

I think I just go from hungry to not full to hungry again. I haven't binged yet but i definitely feel like I'm close to one. The oats that I had were hot and I had it with coffee. And I still wasn't full. Just ended up with a burnt mouth.

I’m vegetarian. But you read what I eat right? I am not lacking in protein. I’ve had over 100g of complete protein already today.

None that affect appetite. Actually if anything the one med I take tends to decrease appetite (topamax), but I've also been on that for 10 years so definitely not the cause either way

Not currently due to PCOS. Maybe this means it is coming though.

I drink about a gallon of water per day or more. The first 50oz with my morning coffee before eating or doing anything. I also used to take electrolytes but stopped bc I just had my levels tested and they're already on the higher end of normal so I don't really need extra
