Binge meals that you used to think was normal

One thing MFP has really done for me is make me look at everything I eat. I am kind of horrified at what I used to eat, and the mental gymnastics I used to do to tell myself it was OK. My best one was that the portions are so small here everyone orders more than the meal.
My regular Mcdonalds was:-
1 Large big mac meal
2 cheese burgers (occasionally would upgrade to double cheese burgers if I was really hungry)
1 Large diet coke
1 Apple pie
In the past I have even occasionally added an extra medium fries as well.........and I wondered how I became fat.

You know the size of a Dominos large pizza? Ya, one of those, allll to myself. Plus coke, garlic bread and those Belgian waffle thingies.0

A bowl of chicken madras, side order of pilau rice,keema naan, poppadoms, lime pickle and two or three ice cold Stella's.
Now where's the harm in that ?

I used to eat a large dominos pizza with wedges and garlic bread all to myself! Hmmm yeah that might be why I am fat! I still have to monitor myself when I eat pizza to make sure I only have 2-3 slices cause I can get carried away!0

mmmmmmm love it! Apart from the Stella, oh I wish!!0 -
So glad I am not the only one who used to do these things....I am especially guilty of all the meals so far.
Although remember this is a confessional booth......not Man V Food (food porn) or we're all going to go off the rails!0 -
A huge 'made for sharing' bag of Doritos all to myself, with a tub of soured cream! :-) Or a six-pack of Wheat Crunchies or Skips, or both, eaten all at once. I can easily eat 12 bags of crisps at a time! I thought other people did that too, but they laughed when I told them I did it, so I'm guessing it's not normal! :-) I'd still do it again though, just not so often, and I'd eat half the bag of Doritos, and only three bags of Wheat Crunchies at a time!0

I used to get a thing of double stuffed oreos and sit on my couch eating most of the package...milk in hand...omg that sounds so good right now!0
-
Chocolate, lost count of how many bars after about the 6th.Must admit there are days where I still find it hard to stick to one.0
-
My favorite thing was to make a box of Pasta Roni and eat it all to myself. My sister and I both did it. God that stuff is so good... I still eat it, but a serving size at a time now haha.
When I lived in France they had Cream of Onion chips that were delicious, I'd eat a whole bag of those one my own too. Or an entire bar of chocolate in one sitting.0 -
4 Krispy Kremes... I struggle with more than one now!0

Haha, thats not even my deepest darkest confession...
Ok here goes. When I was pregnant (poor excuse but hey... cravings right?) I would eat a large pepperoni pizza with a tub of Ben & Jerrys Caramel Chew Chew spread on top0 -
erm steak & chips / ribs &chips
I guess I never really considered meals in restaurants to have calories and if so not many...who knew steak and chips could have over 1000cals ! think thats were I've gone wrong, underestimated the calories.
Walkers crisps, 3 or 4 in one seating (small packets!)0 -

Spread on top of the pizza?? Ewww that's enough to put me off pizza, thanks for that image!0 -
I've never really liked Mcdonalds/Dominos etc, but on the rare occasion we did get Dominos i'd eat half a large pizza and maybe some wedges too.
Chocolate is more my thing! When I was pregnant I ate an entire large bag of Revels. Now I just avoid chocolate altogether!0 -

We do, trust me - maybe not the people you told but we're out here.
That is the hardest thing for me to cut out. I love crisps - a 24 multi pack lasted 2 - 3 days at the max in my house and I live alone ;-?0 -
yeah when i started doing mfp i was shocked at how much i ate. i used to say to myself why am i fat i dont eat more then other people.
well just my nightly snacks alone were probably what i eat all day now. 4 glasses milk (600 calories), chocolate candy bars (big size) and popcorn or chips - unlimited. i still have my popcorn, chips, chocolate and milk but limited quanties and not everyday.0 -
back in the day---which was NOT so far back
2 McDonald's Fish burgers
3 oven-warmed McDonald Land Raisin cookies
Super-size Fries
AT MIDNIGHT~~
or I would eat...
something with cheese and tomato sauce and bread and hypnotize myself that it was not pizza0 -

The other day my hubby & i shared a chmychanga(sp wrong i know)....9 months ago i would've eat'n the whole thing plus the yellow rice and refried beans!!........dont know how i could fit all that in my stomach!!0
-
A huge bag of doritos (the blue ones), four milkybar yogurts, two Morrisons cream scones and a whole PACK of echo biscuits. :sick:0
-
a $4 bag of Lays potato chips and a Dr. Pepper.0

Homemade chocolate chip cookies. If I made a batch of 24, the first batch of 12 would be gone before the second batch came out of the oven. Needless to say, I don't make them anymore.0
-
Chocolate cake from cheesecake factory. One slice is over 1300 calories...and it was always my dessert after some other non nutritious food like fries and fried chicken.0
-
When I was in high school: 7 hard shell beef Taco Bell tacos, rice, cinnamon twist and one of their huge drinks0
-
Oh, and fish finger butties ( Warburtons bread) .Every Saturday morning I'd eat 10 fish fingers and four/ six rounds of bread and think It was normal !0
-
omg, so many to count. i've done the whole pizza thing that was mentioned a bunch of times.
some of my other "favorites" also:
- Tortilla chips (whole bag) and tostidos spinach dip (whole thing.) I would literally stick my fingers in and lick them to get every little bit.
- Drive thru Mcdonalds number 2, followed by drive thru burger king number 1 (eating meal 1 while driving to meal 2)
- Cook mac and cheese box and eat entire thing out of pot with hot sauce on top
- ordering chinese food (10 dollar minimum) - so I'd get the sweet and sour chicken and eggroll, and get 2 other egg rolls to make the 10 dollars. then i'd eat the whole thing.
And that would be one week. The next week I'd try to be "good" to make up for it. Being good lasted a few days. Then it would start all over.0 -
Poutine and cupcakes! Breakfast of champions.0

Holy crap!0 -
I used to love Carne asda Fries (french fries, marinated steak, quacamole, cheese) I'd eat 1/2 to 3/4 of the square styrafoam container. Turns out an 1/8th of it was almost my full days calories.
Same with Apple Crisp with ice cream.
They don't sound like much of a binge until you look up the calories...little food for ALOT of calories
I also used to eat 3/4 of a large pizza
whole think of mac & cheese with chili
and 32 Oz pepsi's (2) in a day0
