I’ve struggled with binge eating most of my life, and lost over 100 pounds with it. It happens and it’s not a big deal when it’s not often. This might be bad advice, but I find that it’s extremely hard to fight the urge all the time. Sometimes I’ll try to do controlled binges where I plan it and know the macros I’ll be eating and how it fits into my diet. It scratches the itch while still fitting in my routine

I still to this day don't really understand what binge eating is, can someone explain?

but this kinda just sounds like being hungry, no? like idk if i'm binge eating or just... eating... like sometimes ill just settle for whatever i can find but is this specifically for people who want/need to eat healthy but can't stop themselves?

In my experience, I would binge even if I didn’t feel hungry and would eat well past the point of being full. It’s a really intense craving that feels like an itch, and even when you scratch it doesn’t go away. It generally only happens when I’m alone, probably because i subconsciously feel like I have full control in those moments. I would also get obsessed over food, like if I knew there was leftover pizza, i would be so focused on it that I couldn’t focus on anything else
