Avoiding the binge after religious fasting?

In my religion (Eastern Orthodoxy), we fast on Sunday morning from all food and water until our service, and then afterwards share a big potluck meal together. Today is my first week tracking calories, and I just got a small serving of everything. When I put it into MFP after we finished, I realized I ate my entire calorie allowance for today and it's only 1pm. How can I avoid this when I've spent the whole morning starving myself and there are tons of carb-y trigger foods?

We also have periods ranging from a few weeks to over a month when we are restricted to basically a vegan diet, and after the last one I stuffed myself with meat and cheese for over a week and undid all my progress. Fasting and then feasting is a big part of the yearly cycle for us, but it's not great when you need to lose 15 pounds...
