If
Good Calories, Bad Calories inspired you to low carb eating, why are you "working so hard to track my intakes"? Other than keeping processed carby foods out of your diet, much of that book focused on how futile calorie counting is. Same in
Why We Get Fat. You should not have low energy levels on LC, likely leading to possible binge issues.
Many authors in the primal/paleo world also focus on removing food intolerances and food quality, not counting calories and macros. Have you tried a 30 day elimination diet to see if an intolerance to possibly dairy or eggs, may trigger binges?
Whole30, JJ Virgin, Your Personal Paleo Code, or similar.
One obesity researcher who has written much on binge eating, since she was a binge eater herself in the past, is Zoe Harcombe. Her book
Why Do You Overeat is only $2.99 on Kindle, net down, the top three are 1. Food Intolerances, 2. Candida overgrowth or 3. Hypoglycemia. The unique aspect of
Why do you overeat? is its psychological approach. In it Zoe Harcombe explains the six core emotions that drive overeating. She has much more information on her blogs, obesity lectures on YouTube, and podcasts.
Please do not try "to control your diet"! Your body is not a bank account.
All the best,
ps: There is a low carb/paleo dietician/runner in DT Chicago.

I read her blog and like it but have not met her, so this is not a personal recommendation. Still working on a Chicago friend to see her for nutritional counseling. Maybe a visit to her would help you? She works out of a gym and may have advice to tweak your foods as well.
