I ate/Drank 3500 calories yesterday and didn't gain an ounce. Woohoo!

On the flip side, I cannot BELIEVE I ate/drank so much!!

What is the highest # of calories in one day you've ever consumed?

    According to my MFP reports within the last 90 days I maxed out at 8k around my birthday :). I've been pretty good since then lol.

    "healthy" is very ambigious :tongue:

    My highest day was coming off a period of very low carbs/cals hence the mass amount of carbs required. All structured not just a random figure I picked out.

    If you were referring to the 3500/day then yep perfectly fine. I'm trying to put on weight at the moment so obviously a surplus of calories is required and my TDEE is approximately 2800 it seems.

    During college I ate near 7000 calories over a 5 year bulk - it did get me from 155 to 215 at 15% body fat, though.

    How do you eat 1000g of carbs? I'm having a ton of trouble eating 500g. I'm usually 50-100g short. Do you eat a ton of sugar? I try to eat mostly starches and fruits.

    It was very hard. I think I had french toast, oats with mass amounts of cereal added (think mixing bowl size), pizza, creamed rice & some fruit & veggies.

    This refeed was aimed to be less than 50g of fat and the majority of carbs from starch not fructose.

    Eep.. I don't even know.. Honestly, when I have a binge day like that where I can't keep food out of my mouth, I don't log it, even though I should. The one time I logged, I was at 6k.

    I guess I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with bad days.. But man, do I feel flippin' disgusting and angry with myself the next day.

    Most Saturdays I consume around 4000 calories, but I only net around 1000 over after my daily exercise.

    What is the highest # of calories in one day you've ever consumed?

    I think I ate about 6000 a day for 2 days when I did an endurance mountain climb, but then I was burning off nearly as much if not more. The thing is though, you can't really tell how much of that you have put on by weighing yourself next day, some foods are more calorie dense than others. it's possible to gain weight by eating low calorie water-full foods as opposed to quite dry calorie dense foods.

    Eat a pound of nuts and a pound of cucumber and you will weigh exactly the same until the food has been processed and the water expelled. ;)
