6000 calories or bust.

And in spirit of my usual SOP- I'm going to have a max/min limit for myself.

I fully expect to be a minimum of 4000 calories- but I'd like to hit 6... because- what's the point of a challenge if you don't really apply yourself.

I know MrM is in and I think ndj1979 threatened as well.

why you ask? because- protein... brotein- I needs it.


Also- double bonus points if you use your food scale for accuracy... I MAY actually have to go buy a new one- since I left mine at home- and at the very least I'd love to know how much turkey I ate... because- science and all.

Let the feasting begin!!!!

    I will try it.
    I don't plan on weighing my foods, but I plan on eating.
    So I will try to snap pics.

    Pictures are a bonus.

    I'm pretty much expecting to not move- I love food- and I love good homemade food- last year I think we did steaks- lots and lots of steaks... so it's going to be nice to do a real thanksgiving dinner- it's been a while since I've gotten to participate.

    Pretty much the same boat as you- I plan on eating. happily and fully. :D

    I'll give it a try! I don't think I've ever eaten that much in one day without getting sick so I'll have to be strategic about it.

    I'm a horrible enabler- we go every 2-3 weeks to AYCE.

    I can't pre-log, as I am not cooking anything....
    But I will try to guess if I can.

    I think most everyone doing any calorie counting will be "best guessing" I mean really if you aren't cooking all of it- and you aren't using a scale- that's the best you have!

    Best guesses are welcomed :)

    I'm in! I'm not supposed to be on my phone at the dinner table, but I think if I tell them about the challenge, they'll let me. ;) I mean, it's an AWESOME challenge!

    I made all the desserts. Guessed on everything else. I was at 3500 with just the cheesecake,baklava. And banana cake.

    I feel like in the interest of fairness we should really exclude pre-day numbers.

    But it would be fun (since I know people take several days sometimes with their families) to see a week total - and how bad the damage was LOL. I did pretty well all in all today- i ate a little "lite" for my normal AYCE fair- but still- food coma- I'd like to go home- rather than teach dance at 6 PM. I need a NAP!!!!
