Just pick up where you left off. Call it a cheat day. I am eating 4000+ on exercise days and it's not easy. Kudos to you

If you try to eat least than your goal you may start a yo-yo pattern. You will do it for a day or two but be so hungry that you might over eat and then try to make up by going lower again.
Instead, just go back to your normal pattern. It was a bad day, it is over and done with, life goes on. Now I just need to take my own advice.0 -
How the hell is that even possible? I don't think I could do that if I tried....maybe if I ate a large pizza...but wow!
How the hell is this even supportive or constructive?
It's neither, and I'm not really concerned about it being either.....I"m just in awe of the sheer amount of calories in one day someone can eat!
She already stated it's done, she's accepted it and moved on....so really, there's nothing left to say about it except...wow.
^^^ pretty much a jerk response all around! Probably should just keep to yourself. I think plenty of us are in "sheer awe" by your comments/approach in general.
Listen girl, its not THAT hard to eat THAT many calories. You can have low-ish volume and still have high calorie sooooo ...
But yea, I would let it go and move on with a new day. People who try to "make-up" for what they did before? It makes no sense. Its just like if you said or did something yesterday that you wish you would've done different ... you can't go back and change that. Whats done is done and you know what, your body doesn't hate you for it. You might have "gained" a little bit (ie because of sodium, etc) but yesterday doesn't really matter. You're not gonna get "skinny" or "fat" in one day ... trust me!
Today, eat your calories, move that happy little body of yours and carry on sister!! Cheers to logging :drinker: , SEEING it and learning 0 -
I'm more defending the fact I ate 2,629 calories worth of pork. I'm not even obsessing over the fact I ate it, by the way. :P
Am I the only one who's thinking you can get one heck of a power workout in before all that lovely protein is flushed!? :laugh: Oh sweetie take advantage of all that lovely fat & protein before its all gone!!0 -
When I'm over my calories I exercise more and eat a little bit less the next day.0

Ha! Your right. Just saw ya'll are actually friends.
Weird. Good thing ya'll "get" each other because it totally comes off different.0 -
I could do it without breaking a sweat. I used to do it all the time I'm sure but wasn't keeping score back then.How the hell is that even possible? I don't think I could do that if I tried....maybe if I ate a large pizza...but wow!
I had a day like that once. God, it was wonderful. I ate all the flavors!0 -

I like you!
Everyone else is freaking out and concerned and trying to help or just be snarky...
And you don't let any of it phase you. You ate the pork, enjoyed it, and you've moved on.
You don't need any advice. You're gonna be just fine.
Thanks love. That's right. I wasn't asking for support (but damn did I get some). My question was what they do in my situation and how many calories should I consume for the next few days and that was all I was looking for. 0 -

Its fine, we all have a day that isn't perfect. We all have momens where we slip up, don't let it affect you, just get back in the flow tomorrow, and dive right in ! As long as you do that you'll be fine! good luck, and if you need more support you can add me lizabear911.
Good luck!0 -
You know what, if I really think about it, I bet I have come close to that amount a few times a couple of years ago on vacation. I love wine tasting and good cheese.
Anyhow, I have gone over a few calories myself a couple of days. How I deal i with it is this - tomorrow is a new day, you get a do over. I eat a small but nutritious breakfast such as an oatmeal smoothie with fruit and chia seeds. Snack on fruit and a few almonds, a vegan light lunch and one hour of any type of cardio with a salad with meat dinner. boom, back on track.
Drink some green tea too, it's good for flushing fat.
Hugs and hang tough you can do it!0 -
If it were me I wouldn't try to compensate for the calories because if you do you will probably be hungrier the following day and may end up binging again and so on. Don't beat yourself up too much about it, atleast you are aware of how much you have eaten.0

I've done things like that and still managed to lose a half pound by the end of the week. Just eat a little less or move a little more the other days.
Yeah, sometimes the yummy just sneaks up on you. My downfall was the cheese tray. OMG the cheese tray! Worth it at the time, though. :-)0 -
6k calories is a lot. But it's not the end of the world. I've done it myself on occasion. Your goals will likely be set back a little if you carry on as normal, but if that doesn't bother you, keep going.
But if I have that much food in one day then I'm typically not hungry the next day, so I don't eat until I am. I still have trouble with people recommending that you eat 2k the next day, you know, just because. That's NOT how the human body functions. It does not need to be fed everyday if you're in a surplus of calories, and especially if you're not genuinely hungry. You won't die if you skip a day of eating. Can't fathom anymore the concept of forcing food down my gullet, regardless of how many calories I had the previous day. So counter intuitive.0 -
Look, it's alright. We're all human. Who knows, maybe your body was starved and in dire need of nutrition. Relish the feeling of a new day tomorrow and forgive yourself. 0
