Why Am I Still Bingeing If I’m Not Restricting? // Diet Mindset

Hi!
I severely restricted for about a year to the point of not eating for few day stretches at a time, losing a huge chunk of my body weight in only a few months. Now, as I am committed to recovery, I’m working to gain weight without setting too many rules (because rules are what got me in trouble in the first place).

Now a few months into recovery, I am just breaching the 3000 calorie mark each day, sometimes I don’t quite get there. Here is my question: my body is becoming programmed to crave food right before bed, and a good amount. Is that ok? Is there a way to condition my body to not want a huge meal before sleeping? I’ve tried eating more throughout the day and it still wants it! Maybe because my body does a lot of repair during the night it actually needs all of that…cause I do wake up sometimes in the morning with a rumbling tummy even if I ate a lot right before bed. I feel like I’m getting ready for hibernation each night! Would talking to my nutritionist about a more regimented meal plan be a good idea? I don’t feel like I’m restricting but I can’t help eating so much before bed!
