Haven't had a burger since I started losing, I just got a coupon for a free burger at ruby Tuesdays and I love their smokehouse burger. 1,600 calories but I'm going to eat it since its this one time. I'm contemplating eating half or removing the bun but the day I'm going I have to fast for blood work so no breakfast and this as my lunch. Plus if I go to the gym. I won't be so bad lol

I have not had a burger since as well, but I plan to, just to show myself I can, and enjoy it. I have to go for blood work soon as well, so maybe I'll take your idea. Just not Ruby Tuesdays'. Perhaps Five Guys minus the five pounds of fries they typically pack per order.

I don't know...I think the worst thing I would ever do is drink a lot, come home and munch on a bag of chips until they were practically gone, and then get a bacon, egg, and cheese for breakfast.

CEREAL.
A gigantic bowl of cereal.
Weetabix, Shreddies, All-Bran, Special K topped with milk and a big spoonful of sugar of course.

I used to eat so much Special K I had to stop buying it.
I also used to add a spoonful of sugar to my cereal which I'd never dream of doing now. I sometimes chop in a banana if I want the sweetness and it's so much tastier than sugar!

Oh I can't believe I forgot... Huge bowl of rice pudding (probably 2 cups worth) with 2 tablespoons of Nutella... So what, a 1000 calorie snack?

I used to eat an entire box of mac and cheese to myself, and I'd add 2 tablespoons of cheese wiz to it. It made me feel completely terrible but it was so good.

I see many people mention 100!!! grams of chocolate. I had a 120 gram bar this weekend The difference is that I now save up calories for such indulgence.

I would eat a whole tin of Quality Street chocolates in two days or 2-300 grams of other types of chocolate every single day. General food has never really been my downfall, I have always eaten normal portions of regular, often home-cooked meals. But chocolate! Sooo much, preferably every day.

8 servings size bowl of Potato Buds instant mashed potatoes with 1/2 stick of butter and lots of salt. For lunch whenever I craved "comfort food". And then feel bloated and miserable for the rest of the day. Ugh.

KatieLK14

in my first year of university i pretty much lived off rice. white rice, just rice. all the time, RICE!

Lefty1290

Tons of saltine crackers, at least half of a package in one sitting, sometimes with peanut butter. White rice with cheddar cheese. Three beef hard shell tacos with tons of cheese and sour cream. Frozen fettuccine alfredo dinners, sometimes having two for one meal.

EDIT: forgot half a box of Tobasco Hot & Spicy Cheez-its in one sitting. My favorite kind.

I could drink >2L coca cola in one sitting, not counting food (back home you can get a kebab pizza with fries on it, drizzled in this thick yogurt sauce... Sinful, I tell you). Could drink it like water.

onyxgirl17

I used to drink 24 monsters in a week

Poutine. Chips with gravy and cheese.
1422 calories!

hahaha! I love some of these posts!!

My low point... the frito bean dip with the cheapest, saltiest tortilla chips I could get my hands on!

jessjess210

Where do I begin. McDonalds runs were always accompanied by wienerschnitzels. Big Mac extra dressing, chili cheese dog, chili cheese fries, and an order of mini corn dogs. All washed down with a large coke. An entire bag of hot Cheetos dipped in either frito lay nacho cheese or sour cream. Large pan pizza myself. 1/4 lb cheeseburger with chili cheese fries that weighed more than a newborn and vanilla shake. En entire order of pad Thai, panang curry and rice, with thai iced tea and sticky rice and mango for dessert. I could go on but I'm getting kinda hungry

I don't think I ate anything really outrageous, but when I was young and slim I used to do a lot of home baking, which included pastry, cakes, etc. I used to make leftover bread into tarts - a pastry base, filled with breadcrumbs mixed with syrup, or honey and grated apple, and baked. Very delicious with custard, but incredibly sugary!

And when I lived in Scotland, I did occasionally have deep-fried pizza. I also used to happily eat the occasional cream cake.

I didn't tend to go overboard once I put on weight (but I still did put on the weight, so must have been eating too much overall, even if it wasn't particularly high calorie foods).

Robbnva

Deep fried pizza? Oh boy

firebloom

I used to bake a lot and eat wayyy more than single portions. If I made blueberry muffins, I would eat 3 or 4 a day until they were gone. I used to sometimes make sticky date pudding too. After plugging the recipe into MFP, I have discovered that a single serve is 500 calories. I never thought it was healthy but 500 cal on one dessert is extreme. Plus I would have it with ice cream. I would also sometimes get the mini jellies (jello for the Americans) from the Asian grocer and eat the whole packet of them in one sitting.

It makes me cringe now but I know that I could probably still go straight back to those habits if I'm not careful. I don't buy/make my trigger foods anymore. If I know that I can't control myself with certain foods, they don't come into the house. I still have sweet things but not the same sweet things that I ate in excess.

Typical day in college:

ABP asiago cheese bagel with cream cheese (I still do this- love asiago bagels)

One of those super-lattes that's like 400 cal a pop

BK whopper w fries and coke

snack on cookies or brownies or whatever I could get my hands on. I really liked the heath cookies at ABP. (It contributed a lot to my weight gain.)

a totino's party pizza for dinner

mint moose tracks ice cream, at least two servings now that I know what a serving is, for dessert (that stuff is amazing, and I can't keep more than a pint in my house at a time because HOLY DISASTER BATMAN)

Often alcohol, as well, because college. And I wondered, before I started logging food, how I'd done it.

When I was at my heaviest weight, I would eat heaping bowls of pasta with liberal amounts of cheese for dinner. Breakfast would be a double-toasted bagel with butter and a large coffee with two sugars and two creams (roughly 600 calories).

Before hitting the books at uni, I would buy cookies and another large coffee from the library cafe.

When I went out for dinner I would eat every morsel of my large portions of pasta/pad thai/curried rice and still order an appetizer and dessert.

This might not seem too bad, but when I think of it I was consuming well over 2500 calories on a day (where maintenance for a person like me should be around 1700). Plus I did virtually no exercise.

Robbnva

I was consuming easy 3200 to 3500 most days

Agree with the chocolate. I still eat those 100gr in one sitting. I just burn them of with exercize or save calories.

Robbnva

A trick with chocolate, for me anyway is if there is a world market near you. Get the European or UK chocolate. It tastes different and its sweet enough that you don't want to over eat. It also tastes better than american chocolate

ClairePear14

I used to buy already made sausage rolls, take the meat out and put Cadbury mini eggs in them and eat the chocolate and pastry together...
That was a bad phase

Lately I've been driving past fast food places I used to visit, and Quik Trip stores that sell a whole host of delicious junk. Yesterday, I realized I didn't feel tempted to drive into any of those places. It was a great feeling.

Crisps. And I mean ALL the crisps. I couldn't have them in the house because I'd just eat them all then hate myself afterwards. I haven't even fancied them for a couple of weeks now; there's a multipack under my desk but the only packs missing have gone to other people.

Also bread, especially the fresh loaves from the bakery. I could eat a whole loaf of that with butter over the course of a day on top of my regular meals and snacks. Explains a lot.

I used to eat an entire pint of Cherry Garcia ice cream in one sitting!! My weakness! Nowadays, I try not to even go near the stuff!

They have those tiny portions, don't deprive yourself imo

A pint of ice cream is almost exactly my calorie needs for the day. Once I bought 5 pints for five days just to see what would happen. They were gone in three days, I was ravenous, and I felt like crap, of course. There went my ice cream diet before and after, write a book, make millions plan. Makes me wonder how much meth the twinkie guy was doing. Or was he just really hangry the whole time? I'd hate to have been around him!

2 x 500 cal refridgerator cakes in one sitting...every day...one day i stepped on the scale and knew i had to get a grip before it got out of hand (i was 65kg...at 5"3 it was the largest i'd ever been and essentially, 8kg had gone on in three months...i could see it escalating v easily...)

I'm 5"4 and wish I was 65kg!

On another note, I read every post, some brilliant confessions and I admire people's honesty! I don't have any new foods to add but have definitely ate the same as some on here (whole large pizza with sides, tubs of ice cream, entire box of chocolates etc). I definitely have a problem with eating the whole packet/box etc, my brain can't cope with the idea that it might be ok to have food leftover and I find myself finishing said food before I've even realised what I've done! I find it harder at home where multipacks are lurking, easier at work when I can just bring in the pre-planned food for the day. I'm still working on controlling the mindless eating, it's refreshing to know I'm not alone!
