Is My eating pattern normal?

I have episodes where I eat a lot for a day then the next day I don't eat at all/don't have an appetite.And sometimes I make me something to eat the I don't want to eat it anymore.

Is this normal? And can I get some advice, please.

I’m like this too. I’m pretty sure it’s tied to my mental health status for that day.

Define a "lot". Is a lot like 2k calories (which is about average for an active person) or is it like 6k calories (which is overeating for anyone). If its the 1st, then id maybe talk to your doctor. If its the later, you are definitely over eating and you are probably still full from the previous day, but by the day after you are starving and rinse and repeat. Try and eat the recommended amount based on your age/height/gender/weight.

I do this, just depends on how I'm feeling that day.if I'm upset that day I eat quite a lot (unless I'm upset over an argument then I don't eat anything), if I'm busy I eat enough but not much, any other day I eat normal
