Possible to eat all your daily 1500 cal in one meal?

I do probably every Friday night. I don't log because liquor drunken me, but it has to be around the 1500-2000 mark. Good thing the only thing that matters in weight loss/maintenance/gain is the long term behavioral trend! Friday is the only day I eat like that.

As I discovered yesterday to my dismay and my scale confirmed this morning, the chocolate chip cookie skillet at Chili's is nearly 1,500 calories, just by itself. And that was just dessert ...

If you were asking if you could eat your daily caloric intake in 1 meal for the duration of your diet.

"Nutrition scientists from the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center examined diet habits of a group of normal-weight, middle-age men and women. Participants were divided into two groups: volunteers who consumed either all of their required weight-maintenance calories in one meal a day or in three meals a day. Researchers observed that "one mealers" had significant increases in total cholesterol, LDL "bad" cholesterol and blood pressure, compared with their levels when they ate three meals a day. In addition to these changes, "one mealers" had higher morning fasting blood sugar levels and a delayed response to the body's insulin."

From the Herschel Walker diet on livestrong. If you're not familiar with him he eats all of his calories in 1 meal, its also stated that he hasn't released anything on his cardiovascular or blood glucose.

It's easy to do when you're eating out or having a special-occasion meal. Log it as best you can and eat light (but not crazy light) tomorrow. It all comes out in the end.

Thanks, I love this kind of informative posts.

I guess more meals tax the body less. Logical.
