What is the most number of calories you ever consumed?

We all fall at times, what is the most number of calories you ever consumed a day before and after starting Mfp?

For me it was during the holidays, i was averaging around 2000 and 2500 with out exercise. Before MFP i cant be sure, but my guess is, i have hit 3500 a day.

The first day I started using MFP I went to Long John Silvers. My meal with condiments was probably 1800 to 1900 calories. That was one meal. I am sure I have had worse meals and days; but the fact that was the first day of using MFP, that meal will stick in my memory for a long time. Now if I have a meal over 700 calories, I freak out a little.

My largest day since I started tracking was Mar 12, 2011 - approximately 7277 calories while at Disneyland. But, that was nearly on purpose. My husband decided that me looking longingly at all of the snacks and treats at Disneyland wasn't enough and spent the day gleefully buying me pretty much every single snack and treat I'd wanted on each of our previous trips to the park. He also wanted to see if I could ever get full (a long running joke of me being a bottomless pit. I can totally out-eat him without effort).

I had an awesome day of 100% pure gluttony and it's made it easier to go to the park each time after that without buying all of that stuff rather than always wishing I could get it.

Oh, and no, I never got full. lol

I didn't count how many calories I'd eat before my diet but I know there were days where I'd eat chinese buffet that had to equal over 3000 just in and of itself plus whatever a big mac, large fries, and 2 apple pies was, and then whatever else I'd eat or snack on. So maybe around 5k or so.

After joining, I think one or two times I hit 3k on two horrible days where I had emotional breakdowns but usually if I overeat, it still only hits 2k. The majority of the time, calorie intake is between 1100 - 1800, which is a lot less than before! :laugh:

PercivalHackworth

Now that I'm well aware of the calories food have, I'd say that 5000-6000 is not a fantasy
my recent binges were about 3500-4000 , so yah totally

LH2011

I reckon on Christmas easily 4000 including drink and food

rsmithy89

Easily 10,000 calories.

Christmas eve I ate the equivalent of a small farm in meat and half of willy wonkas chocolate factory. Gained 16lbs of water weight.

I have no idea, but i do tend to binge (well did tend to binge, not so much anymore) but i really wouldn't be surprised if i hit 10 000 cals at some point. Jesus, that feels really weird writing that down. I should prob be ashamed but i'm not, spilled milk and all that. I think the most i've had since i've been on here is about 2000.

polegirl23

I dread to think!! I'm a new member on here and didn't join til after I'd discovered the 'healthy way of life' (lol!) but before I started my weight loss journey I could easily eat a large dominos pizza, garlic bread, chicken dippers, ice-cream, doughnuts and a bottle of coke in a day and still pick at sweets, crisps and milkshakes all day!! For a girl of 5"2 who did no exercise there's no wonder I wasn't happy with my weight!!

donnabirch123

before joining mfp, i dread to think how many cals i was consuming,

two large milky bars, followed by pop tarts, hot choc, pizza, mars bar, alcohol, Chinese, and a lot more, just one day, i think i would crash the site if i tried to add that!!

i little knowlidge about what your eating really helps to make the right choice,
no longer feel like i want to eat a hole tub of ice cream, feel like im happy that i havent, not bad because i have!

1200-1500 a day now, not 9000

Before mfp.... about 4500-5000 a day. Logging on here was eye opening to say the least! Hence being sensible with diet has helped my weight start melting away.

NightOwl1

I'd say I've definitely had 7,000 or maybe even 10,000 days before. You'd be surprised how easy it is to consume that many calories without eating an obscene amount of food if you just eat 3 full meals at a restaurant and don't pay attention to what you eat.

donnamillie

dont know how many calories but i have had days where i have had a mcdonalds, kfc and chinese all in one day (probably had a hangover lol)

TopazCarey

It's hard to say this but last year for lunch I'd always go to McDonald's and get a large double cheeseburger meal. Then right after, I'd always have a bag of Famous Amos cookies. This was at least 5 days a week.Then I'd get home and have whatever my mom made for dinner (which was usually not very healthy at all, especially when having seconds and thirds of everything) along with more assorted snacks. And then If I was hungry later at night, I'd have no problem ordering a pizza just for myself.

I don't even wanna fathom how many calories all that adds up to.

livi_cowgirl

It's difficult to tell because I used to eat all kinds of takeaway and junk food and I used to stuff myself till I was almost ill, but now I have no cause to log these thing cos I don't eat them so I'm not sure how many calories they would be but if I had to guess I'd say maybe 10,000+ on a regular basis.
Wow, looking at it like that, 1,330 a day is a massive improvement. :-)

littlebrunette24

Not sure before I joined this site.

But on Tuesday of this week (Valentines Night) I went for a 4 course Indian meal and consumed 3,081 calories that day, which is a good few more than anyother day.

Hambone23

I don't have a good feel for how many calories I consumed daily before MFP. At the very least, about 3,000 to maintain the weight I've been at for the last year. But I know I've had to have had up to 10,000 calorie days. I wouldn't eat much during the day. (I was never a breakfast person, and I'm not much for lunches (my breakfast/lunch habits improved when I had a structured job and needed the energy), so I'd have large dinners. A whole box of mac 'n cheese with sour cream and chives substituted for milk was a normal dinner for me. I'm still eating dinner heavy, which I need to work on. I'm finding now that I'm not eating enough during the day, and I'm no longer satisfied -- hunger-wise -- with that. So I plan to make some changes.

ludogx87

Tywana

I believe I would eat about 4000 to 7000 cals on most days, Thats how I got up to 267, and I didn't even realize how big I got consciously. I feel bigger now when I get to 180.. Isn't that crazy?:ohwell:

BlaireV

I'm sure I hit 6K occasionally. Binged like crazy.

withervein

Last night in one meal I had 1800. Half of it was sashimi, the other half was beer and chocolate cake.

Totally worth it. I was just shy of 3000 for the day.

It. Was. AWESOME.

thefuzz1290

I'm sure I've broken the 10,000 calorie mark several times, during high school I probably hit close to 15,000.
