What is the most calories you have tracked during a binge?

Was it as bad as you thought it would be? how long did it take to recover from?

    When I was competing I had to eat at least 3500 caps per day while carb cycling.
    I logged 4000 cals one weekend

    But I was not trying to loose

    Our bodies don't cut off our calorie intake daily.

    How it works is
    When you reach 3500 extra calories on top of what your body uses then you gain 1lb

    So if you eat less and work out more you can make it up through out the week

    I used to eat less by a 200 cals a few days a week to plan for my hollidays

    Then recover from the water retention by taking extra potassium, drinking more water and sweating it out through cardio and sauna

    I'm sure I've pulled off a 10ker or two. Naturally the "extra 800 calorie refeed" that I'd convince myself I needed would initiate it, but I'd never actually keep tracking after 3500-4k, lol.
