Sure you can! Binges don't happen every day, so a certain person can burn most of it through exercise or any other physical activity

yes. Thin is based on your body and its metabolism. I once read an article on greedy fat cells. The thesis was you could work out, eat perfect and still be overweight because you body would be greedy and hold onto the fat cells. Add a thyroid condition and someone could be 600 pound life. But in the other side, someone might burn too much. No person is generic and it makes sense that an opposite would exist.

Absolutely, but you should never intentionally engage in an eating disorder, as I'm sure you know. Bulimia is a disorder in which you binge and then regurgitate. It can cause serious bodily harm, like damage to your throat, and a serious gain of weight later on.

Yes. While weight is a diagnosting characteristic of binge eating disorder, it is not the sole characteristic. Just like there can be overweight anorexics, there can be skinny people that binge eat

Yes, first, digestion is different for everyone and sometimes binging can be accompanied with purging or a longer period of self-starvation. In any case, consider getting professional help.

Yes, of course you can. A binge eating disorder is not a body type. It is a mental illness or disorder.
