    Around 3000, 3500 sometimes, if I have a bad binge. Fortunately, I am often under in the weekdays and it balances out, somehow.

    I think it was 2500 at a club party. I ate a bunch of little things and didn't log them in, until later. I gained 3 lbs that week. I made sure to never do that again. :P

    I rarely go over now, but when I do, I won't beat myself up up if it is 100 or below.

    My calories are set at 1500 and I went over by 1,151 calories. Fast food is not my friend.

    I've only been on MFP for about 3 months but the most I've exceeded so far is right at 800 calories. That was last Sunday at a big family dinner. I still lost some weight this past week though.

    The biggest over I have had so far was around 1500 over my then 1700 goal.

    Oh man, I really needed this thread. It's the first day I've ever gone over my calorie allowance + exercise calories. I have definitely gotten close a couple days in the past, but today i went almost 300 over, and I'm guessing that's it's really more like 500 (I shared a cocktail with someone and didn't log it). I'm on vacation in New York and I *knew* that I was going to go over, but I was still freaking out because it's only my first day on vacation. It's good to know that it doesn't mean instant failure.

    LOL Bunch of amateurs in this thread.

    On a cheat day I have eaten:

    My meals
    half gallon of ice cream
    full bag of family sized doritos.

    Rough guess, 4k over.

    Get on my fatty level please.

    EDIT: Not a typical cheat day, more like binge day

    On rest days, I'm usually over a few hundred but on those days I don't allow myself more than a 500 calorie surplus.

    I don't log "special occasions" or when I'm on vacation, but I'd have to guess I've had overages as big as 3000 (mostly attributed to beer/wine). I figure that in these instances, logging food is pretty futile when you don't know exactly what's in everything, so it's all a big false number at the end of the day. I try to limit this to a few times a month. I'm going on a pub crawl this Friday... Maybe I'll try logging everything just to see.

    The most I have exceeded my calorie allowance in 1 day since beginning MFP on March 25 was just a couple of weeks ago, and I went over by 434 calories. One night I inexplicably craved a hot fudge sundae and went and got it, even though I was already at my maximum for the day.

    Other than that I have only gone over a couple of other times and it was by something minor like 60 or 100 calories each time.

    HAHA... well I was about double my daily "allowance" this past weekend. I ate 2200 calories and my daily is 1530. I did burn 3000 calories hiking for 5 hours, so I needed it : D

    I would not count this. Technically, it's like eating back your exercise calories...

    2500-3000 quite a few times. I love me some vodka and have a very high tolerance, so if I'm out drinking I can easily put away 1000+ just from that.

    Since I started logging -- 1300, maybe. I eat around maintenance level (+1000ish) about once a week, usually on weigh day. Actually, it looks like I've gone over by a couple of thousand on pizza night.

    In the 2 months that I am logging calorie intake with MFP, my biggest was 1500. I was heavily PMSing.

    I can easily double my recommended (either for loss or maintenance). I like to eat.

    ETA numbers. On 1200 for losing at the moment, but maintenance mode has me at ~ 1600

    I generally try not to exceed 200 calories over the goal amount (1310), but on bad days or holidays I've easily eaten 2000-2500 calories.

    Last weekened I went over my daily calories by 1250 and went 500cals over my maintenance which isn't that bad I guess. I had 3000 cals and gained 3lbs of water which went away after a week

    745 on May 26th this year. 1550 goal plus a few extra from exercise. Family meal out for someone's birthday. Cake etc lol then just snacky/buffet things later in the evening.
    I'd made up for it (and the 660 I'd gone over a few days before) by the end of the week anyway :)

    Added up all my "over goal" calories since I started in Oct 2012: 5505. Total. I'm quite happy with that :D
