    A quart of very cold Heavy Whipping Cream sounds good.

    The same super nachos that I get from my favorite mexican restaurant but I wouldn't split it up over three days.

    That's probably more like 5000 calories right there.

    Depends on what I get and how much I eat. :)

    1000 calories on a few slices of pizza, 2000 calories on as many pints of Guinness as I can get in me before I either pass out or run out of calories, whichever comes first.

    Hmm. Probably Dominos. A few pieces of pizza, soda and a molten lava cake.

    I'd go to white castle... then to panda express... then to a steakhouse!! Then I'd eat a whole batch of either peanut butter fudge or sour cream cookies!! That's how I used to eat every day. Got me really fat.

    Honestly I really want a big Cadillac margarita, chips and salsa and maybe some guacamole. Been craving it for a while, but I don't drink often because I can't get over the calories!! So yes it'd be a happy little drunken splurge.

    I've got around 4k on Sundays after a long run, so I have

    1) pasta for lunch, ~6-700 cal
    2) a whole roast chicken for dinner with roasted potatoes (~1500 cal)
    3) a million apples (cause I love them)
    4) a good gelato in the afternoon (~350 cal)
    5) a 300 cal dessert
    6) one nice panino with bresaola or cotto ham (~400 cal)
    7)then I fill the gaps with whatever I crave, I love for example wrap with nutella on it :smiley: , or a big bowl of cereals

    I always try to have a right balance between proteins and carbs

    pizza is an excellent option, just make sure you eat what is going to fill you up most

    I don't think I would go all out on just one thing. I have got use to eating smaller portions of food now. So I would probably have lots and lots of different things.

    I would eat as usual during the day and keep 2,000 calories to the side for dinner.

    Then I would have steak frites, peppercorn sauce, a couple of nice glasses of red followed by a hot chocolate soufflé with chocolate cream sauce.

    So, a normal Saturday for me then ;)

    I knew I was going to really go off my calories so for one day I splurged on vacation and ate a 3lb steak and two pitchers of beer and some chocolate cake... well over 3000 cals. That day was an 8000 calorie day and it took me over a month to get it off but it was worth it. It almost wasn't though...lol I kicked myself a couple of times but just moved on...

    Italian food. With lots of crusty bread and pesto and cheese and wine.

    And chocolate cake.

    I'd probably starve to death eating that little haha. Probably fruit and whole fat milk all day.

    If I had 3000 calories to spend on one meal, it would be a sushi orgy - as much salmon, hamachi, uni, unagi, ono, ikura and toro as I could stuff down. With sake to drink and mochi ice cream for dessert.

    On Sunday I'm running a half marathon and I will have a bunch of extra calories to consume so I'm going to splurge a little. I'm thinking pizza and beer. What would you splurge on?

    I had 3,008 yesterday to burn (if i believe my fitness band)... I ate 2,966 of those calories... 1,000+ of them came from 2+1/2 slices of meatball pizza!

    Oh, pizza and beer sounds wonderful! Or lasagna and wine. Yum! Enjoy!

    Pemont peppers minus anchovies
    Squash stuffed with onion garlic and Gouda cheese with buttery cauliflower and black pepper, a side order of skinny fries, a bottle of Chardonnay and for dessert a large slice of chocolate and blueberry roulade with a huge serving of cream and Remy Marten to finish.

    umm- that's pretty good- I'll include that in mine. Also bread pudding, hot biscuits with butter, spicy cocktails, chocolate croissants and pumpkin pie :smiley:

    Really good cheese. Maybe some (low carb) cheese cake. Nuts and coconut. Seafood like shrimp and lobster. Oh, a huge coffee with a bunch of heavy whipping cream.

    There are many sugary foods I would like to eat, but with some health issues, I can't and won't go there.

    A big ol' plate of deep-fried sweet and sour shrimp on a bed of white rice with lots of soy sauce!

    Pizza and beer would probably be near the top of my list, or really good Mexican food and beer. Probably a brownie sundae.

    This is exactly what I would want to eat.

    Probably not. Double servings of Cheesecake, Chocolate Lavacake, and 3x Twisted Tea is only around 1,800 - 1.900.

    How and why did no one say Chinese food? Oh my goodness... if I had a 3,000 calorie budget and a bowl of lo mein, general tso chicken, shrimp toast, and all those goodies I would be in heaven!!! And if dessert was included then absolutely some Berger Cookies (but those are only for those who live in Maryland, sorry!!!)
