Easy if you get one of those 2000 pasta dishes from restaurants like cheesecake factory plus a slice or two of cheescake for desert.

Yes...just go out to eat and you could over your 4000!

"Red Lobster's Create Your Own Combination can include shrimp fried and tossed in cream sauce, which can be paired with a margarita, Caesar salad and Chedder Bay Biscuit for a total of 3,610 calories"

or have just two of these:
"SONIC's Pineapple Upside Down Master Blast contains a whopping 2,020 calories and 95 grams of saturated fat"

No, haven't done it, I might be able to manage that over a day, but 3000 is the most I've eaten in a day and it was pretty uncomfortable. I agree that it must be the stomach size, maybe the stretchability factor.
I dislike fizzy popand fruit juice, but even at that I find liquids very filling!

I think the capacity to eat large amounts is probably a good survival trait though. I mean, if you knew food was shortly becoming scarce, eating as much as possible in a short period, gaining weight too, could save your life.

edited for spell mistake.

There's no way I could get down that many calories in one sitting without feeling sick.

Easily doable.

My wife's carrot and walnut cake comes in at 900ish calories a slice. I have cookbooks full of decadent cakes that are easily 1000 calories+ a slice. 4000 calories doesn't take long, especially with cream.

- Chinese buffet, 4000 calories easy.

- Dominoes pizza, House Special Tandoori, Large, Double Decadence 3 Slices is 906 calories. Full pizza 3020.
- Tub of Ben and Jerry's Wholly couch 1100 calories.

- Five guys Bacon Cheeseburger with extra Cheese, extra Bacon, Onions, Jalapenos, Lettuce, Mayonnaise, Pickles, Cattlemen's BBQ Sauce 1252 calories
- Five guys large fries 1724 calories
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Big Taste Triple Chocolate Bar 300g, 541 calories per 100g. 1623 calories per bar

I just looked up a typical meal I have had from Red Robin:

Whiskey River BBQ: 1560 calories
French Fries: 450 Calories
Sweet & Spicy Ketchup: 100 calories (I am pretty sure I would have at least 3 servings of this).
Salted Caramel Milkshake: 1200 calories

That comes to 3,510 calories. 4,000 calories from eating out seems pretty easy to hit to me.

Have you guys heard of brunch buffets? (Or other all-you-can-eat experiences with fried foods, breads, and desserts?)

Thanksgiving a couple of years back, with forensic photo evidence and over the objections of 2 MFPeops who thought I was at least an extra 1000 Cal higher based on the same pictures, I logged my 9 dessert dinner plate (+3 deserts in little cups that didn't fit the plate, so 12 items in total) at just over 4000 Cal and the whole meal at just over 5500 Cal. (we are talking whole slices of cakes etc)

Of course I was too full to eat anything else, and was feeling slightly off, and had SOME difficulty moving. Duh! That didn't stop me, nor had it stopped me in the past... hence my ending up on MFP a few years back!

On the other hand I regularly had and have ~3500 Cal days (not meals; but days). And I was uncomfortably full at the end of my dinner.

So I do have some trouble believing some of the "5000" Cal meals/days posted in disgust by people who seldom break 2K on a regular basis on the occasions when they have gone seriously overboard!

In a day, sure no problem.

In one sitting.. maybe, if most of the cals came from alcohol. I always try to "trick" my body to get more cals in.. and it is difficult.. but booze seems to bypass the sensors

Believe them. (IMO).

Several up-thread have mentioned stomach capacity/stretching. I don't know whether that's the thing.

Regardless, I think some have the ability - be it stomach size, hormonal triggers, or something else - to eat very large amounts. Maybe it's genetics? I dunno.

I can do a 5K calorie day. I can even kind of enjoy it. It's not disgusting, in a physical way (rationally, I know it's Not A Good Plan). It's not particularly uncomfortable (depending on the details of what's eaten/drunk). I know how to log as accurately as anyone does. 5K+ is accurate. Most of my days are around 2K. I can eat (and lose) at 1.6K for quite a long period, without dropping into binge-vile - it's sustainable.

We're not all wired the same.

It is not like you do this every meal and everyday ! But you did it! I would be sick I dont think I could but years ago yes I would of been right there aside enjoying it too now not a chance I would be horrible sick and acid reflex would of killed me!

Light weight, here! 625 calories in a bottle of wine. 1000 calories of alcohol would put me in a coma...can't imagine the majority of a 4000 calorie meal coming in the form of alcohol. I'd be passed out or dead before I could drink that much!

Theo166

Youtube has fit people doing 10,000 calore challenges were they eat it in a day.
They are kinda fun to watch, wish I could give it a go myself

Nooooo Tiny.....lol

Several times!

Me too.

Every Christmas day, my birthday and a few times during the year for special occasions.

Today I am doing a full roast leg of lamb dinner with stuffings, yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes in goose fat for 9 people.
We have cheese cake for dessert and salmon and cream cheese with crackers. Chips/crisps and dips for later in the evening with drinks as well.
I don't think I'll be in calorie range today.

Tomorrow I'll be back to eating a normal amount within my calories and won't sweat the fact I was over.

Life is for living and won't deprive myself of any thing.

Haha oh dear yes maybe that is a lot.. Back in my university days, no problem, but definitely wouldn't think of it now!!

I mean the meal would have to last for a few hours obviously... pre dinner cocktail, bottle of wine, some after dinner drinks.. maybe wouldn't add up to most but a significant portion

lol I think I can do it without consequences because I'm still young I'm 18 year old and a good petite person also I'm an athlete

I bet with some of the foods suggested here that guy could eat 30k cals in a sitting.

Garthweightlosspal

I just don't see how that's possible without complete gluttony or doing it for sport, i'de be absolutely sick if I ate more than even 750 in one sitting without preparing for it.

Also to the poster above me, Matt stonie is an extratrestrial! I love it!

Gamliela

I think there must be something to stomach capacity or stretching. Youtube has several videos on the 'All you can eat" 'contestants and contests from all over theworld. So when I see those people eat so much I thought Its sort of a talent or they have trained up to it and adapted themselves to do it. I just never had that capacity. I'm pretty sure I'm happy not to have it, I might have been obese if I did!

The programme that I am running currently requires me to consume 16g/kg of carbohydrates on Saturday's. With protein and fat's thrown in, I normally end the day somewhere between 8-10k calories.

I normally start the day with a large family box of sugary cereal, skimmed milk, whey protein and 4 muffins which adds up to approximately 4k calories.

OK I'll admit that If I were keen on building muscle, doing everything it takes to fuel that goal, and I were a 24 year old 6'2" tall male I'd probably be able to eat more than 3000 a day.
