Balance out your calories that way.And I'm sorry to say that this isn't great advice. You suggested yourself that it might not be, so I hope you'll accept this as constructive criticism, because I think you meant it for the best.
Much better advice would be to eat solid, balanced meals and snacks -- three meals, and three snacks per day -- so that you don't get so hungry that you binge. That's the advice given by dietitians, and that's the advice given in eating disorder programs. It's good advice. Any time you try to restrict to lose weight, you set yourself up for a binge. A lot of eating disorder specialists say that, eventually, all anorexics begin to binge (and generally purge) because no one can restrict consistently without beginning that cycle.
Thanks for the great advice above.
