Did you look it up in the dictionary? I don't think you will be able to find 大喰い there, because 喰 isn't a commonly used kanji. But you can find 大食い in the dictionary, which is typically translated as "gluttony". "Big eater" is the literal translation. Basically, someone thinks "大 means big and 喰い means eating and it's a person, so it's a big eater". But that doesn't necessarily make that translation correct...

"Glutton" emphasizes the contrast to "Gourmet". Tsukiyama and Rize couldn't stand each other because of this difference in attitude.

Binge Eating sounds off, because Rize's behaviour is not binge eating. She doesn't start killing people because she suddenly gets some uncontrollable hunger, and otherwise tries to avoid eating. Someone like that wouldn't be able to bait her food over weeks. She just eats big amounts.

I will leave the final decision to the translator.
