    Well I had a 5,000 cal day Monday but that's only because I had a binge relapse....I'm recovering from binge eating disorder....

    But in my case, many saids here that if it is planned out it is not binge, i could really bank many cals without cutting to much because i'm a very active person Mountain Cycling for 3 hours in the morning and a College Varsity Sporr Practice in the afternoon until 12 mindnight. I decide to try my old power when it comes to eating i know it seems a bit weird thought but because i miss my old habbits so i wanna try it for the last time in my life lol

    So you're saying you are planning a big bike ride which means it would be wise fuelling up your body after a mega calorie burn. Please don't binge, it's unhealthy. You would probably regret it afterwards anyway. Just feed your body the extra food it needs to replace the high calories burned.

    But to answer your question yes, you can bank calories.

    4700 would be extremely doable for me, yeah, but most of it would have to be from bread/sweets, or I'd probably be too full.

    I've eaten back more than my calories after a 20 mile run, by going out to dinner and drinking a couple of beers and having dessert, but I don't think I've eaten more than about 3300 total since I started logging.

    That last part....how you miss your old habits. It's a slippery slope because old habits come back quick. If I could fit that many calories in without gaining or feeling overly stuffed sick I would in a heartbeat, but I personally don't like that feeling so I wouldn't do it. Everyone's different and handles those overeating situations differently so try it out and see how it works for you.

    I don't think I've eaten more than 3300 since I started logging 1.5 years ago, and even that involved a couple slices of Deep Dish Pizza.

    Sounds like a binge. That would be extraordinarily difficult for me. I could maybe get to 3000 with some effort, but anything more than that I'd probably be feeling a little ill... :p

    I don't "try" to eat 4700 calories in a single day but I can easily eat 4700 calories in one meal, by eating at a buffet, an entire pizza with toppings, a family meal at some fast food place by myself, etc.

    I don't think it's that much because I am bulking and eating a lot of cals anyways. So I guess it will depend on your goal or how much you are used to eating. However 4700 everyday for 8 months would be pretty tough and frustrating, for me at least.. oof.

    And it could get expensive..

    My highest daily calorie target was 6502 - sadly only managed to eat 4855 on the day.
    (Hilly 9 hour cycle ride with approximate calorie burn of 4502).

    I went over the next day by 980 cals to compensate.

    if you think you may struggle to eat so much in one day, dont bank so many calories next time!

    i don't think i'd struggle especially if booze was included!

    I hit 5500 last Xmas. I ate a lot of chocolate, desserts/sweets. I was quite satisfied and not hungry.

    I'm maintaining on over 3,000 calories most days. Adding 1,700 calories to that wouldn't be difficult. But I'm not very big on the "banking calories" thing. I don't like feeling stuffed after I've eaten. I prefer to eat what I need when I need it.
