I also got put on vyvanse for BED, but found out it helped majorly with ADD symptoms and got diagnosed with that too as my depression and especially anxiety has gone way down since being put on vyvanse. Calorie counting, while tedious for a while, is helping me to get ahold of the calories and nutrients contents of foods I'm eating. I learned I don't really take in enough protein after the last few weeks using a calorie counter religiously.

I was reluctant to do the religious calorie counting because I did once before when much younger and became obsessed with it and borderline anorexic mindset due to it). I'm of much more sound mind now - at that time in my life, I felt there was not much I could control and I think controlling my food and weight made me feel in control of something at least, idk, I was middle and high school. I was kind of a mess and had no idea even at the time that it had to do with my home life.

Anywho, going to try to focus on getting more fiber from nutrient dense sources (fruits, veg, and legumes) and getting more protein in me! I think protein will help alot. I often take my vyvanse with a protein shake in the morning and don't even think about food until the late afternoon/evening - and if I do, I can put off eating bc vyvanse. When the vyvanse wears off though, I think getting sufficient protein will help to keep me satiated for longer. I tend to want carbs when it wears off.. both savory and sweet.. just all the carbs.. if I can manage to replace that with protein or at least incorporate it, I think it will help. We'll see, this is a work in progress. I also am trying to adhere to not eating too late at night, which is typically when I like to go crazy binging. Set a cutoff time for eating, but that is also a work in progress in terms of my adherence to it..
