    Mac and cheese pizza. Tyson boneless chicken wings, with a jar of blue cheese dressing. Yes the entire jar. That was before I stopped eating meat and dairy.

  • It's not so much what I used to eat as how much I ate. In a binge (I'm a recovering bulimic) I'd easily put away 5000+ calories in under 30 minutes, all in the form of the unhealthiest food I could find. Family sized deserts, cakes, massive chocolate bars, whatever.
    Binging behaviour is so hard to break.

    2 peanut butter and jelly (or honey) sandwiches as soon as I got home from work. This was around 4pm just to hold me over until dinner was ready around 5-6pm ... yup.

    Entire bags of Dorito's (nacho cheese), whole large meat lovers pizza from Pizza Hut, four piece chicken dinner from Bojangle's (2 breasts, 2 wings) with mashed potatoes and gravy and a biscuit. Then a couple of the Boberry biscuits for desert. When I'd go out to Olive Garden, I'd get the chicken and shrimp carbonarra and eat 4-5 breadsticks with it... I'd justify it by eating 1-2 heaping bowls of the salad. At Wendy's I'd get the double baconator and a large fries. McDonald's, I'd get a 20pc nuggets and large fries. BK I'd get a double whopper with cheese and large fries. I was WAY out of control.

    Interesting how I used to also justify eating the "bad" foods by having a big salad or loads of vegetables when in fact I was just adding calories. Now I just have a little of whatever yummy thing I want, this works so much better

    I used to have two 32 oz cups of mountain dew every day....that's 880 calories! I also used to get large value meals from any fast food restaurant...easily 1500-2000 calorie lunches, then I would come back to work and eat candy bars/cookies, etc. It is sad, but I was probably consuming 5000-6000 calories a day....and then I would go out and drink alcohol on top of all of that!!! lol okay this thread is officially depressing me!

    As many Fritos corn chips as it takes to scoop up an entire can of Fritos bean dip. Gah! I have done this only a few times, which is enough to know the bean dip doesn't need to be in my house. :p

    Me too....we called it "Tiger Meat". It was highly seasoned/sorta spicy and we ate it on crackers almost like pate......and yes, my dad was first generation German. I guess it must be a German thing. BTW-never ever made me sick.

    Carne Esada Fries...marinated bits of beef, guacamole, cheese, and fresh fries. One corner of the take out box was most of my days work of calories if not all of them.

    Where might one find these? Mmmm!

    Baker's Square peanut butter cup pie. I really haven't cut anything out of my diet, but it's like a million calories and not especially tasty to me. I'd just get it on a whim, not be that happy with it and waste a ton of calories. So it's not that I don't allow myself to eat it anymore. More like I don't bother with it.

    My "worst" thing was eating raw cake mix....I would literally go through a box in a day or two. A sprinkle in my coffee mug mixed with a bit of water and then mix to a pudding like consistency. I can't even think of keeping it in the house now.....major trigger food for me. Graham crackers are tough for me too.....I could eat an entire sleeve in one sitting easily.

  • -Egg-less cookie dough so that I could eat a whole bowl at night while my family was asleep without the oven noise waking them
    -peanut butter sandwiches with marshmallow fluff or sprinkles in the middle
    -a whole pizza was child's play
    -peanut butter by the jar
    -those mug cakes that were wildly famous on pinterest (probably 700 cals for a mug-full)
    -Moe's nachos for lunch, which I later figured out were 1100 cals.

    Ugg liquid calories a whole other kind of problem. That's where it's not so much what it was but the volume that's sad.

    Twice a week I used to meet up with friends and we would drink 3-4 liters (102-135 oz) of beer in one sitting. While drinking we usually had sandwiches and curly fries or chicken wings with it. 1400-1850 liquid calories but with food, easily 2600+ calories for the evening.

    I have eaten this many times, a Beacon Drive in Chili-Cheese A-Plenty. Huge burger with chili and cheese on it. The A-Plenty means that it is totally buried under fries and onion rings. I obviously had to give this meal up to lose some weight.e249shv4l7ts.jpg

    I would make big bowls like this all the time and eat the entire thing. Now I make dough with protein powder and divide the portions into eight servings.

    Powdered sugar and butter or cream cheese. In a mug, with a spoon. Uncooked pudding mixes. 2 or 3 bacon egg and cheese biscuits in the car after I had already eaten breakfast. Bags of Heath Toffee minis or 3,4,5 Skor bars. I was (am) a closet binge eater.

    Not just a German thing. We had it in France too. Heck you can find it in restaurants... it's 'steak tartare', and typically you add a raw egg on top too! I was never a fan, but my father loved it.

    I was wondering if that would be considered steak tartare. I didn't know if that was technically ground beef or finely diced beef (or if that even matters from a microbial standpoint). Kind of envisioning the packet of ground chuck I get in the grocery store, wrapped in cellophane, and digging into that with a fork. I don't know that I've had beef tartare, but I have had carpaccio, and I love that - so I guess it is pretty much the same?
