What are the most calories you've logged in a day?
How did you manage to consume that many?


For me, it was around 6500.
I ate normally for breakfast then attended a chili cook-off at lunch, a separate chili cook-off at dinner, followed by a wild game cookout which included free beer. Later I ate a few slices of cake, had some jack and coke, and topped it off with half a bag of cookies and cream goldfish crackers.

I tried 31 different chili types that day.

    About 3,600. There were chocolate-covered, salted-caramel macadamia nuts involved. But I've only been tracking for 6 weeks so I'm sure I'll beat that at some point.

    Nice!!!!

    Since I started tracking, on my treat meal days, I log in 3000 or close to it. I keep one day super high like that so my average for the week comes around 1500-1600ish. usually its a carb filled day :)

    and its a combo of pizza, sweets, chips, liquor

    Yeah, I get the highest numbers by alternating savory/sweet/salty.

    I think you have a problem.

    I had one day that was over 4,200. That felt pretty epic but now I can see from some of the posts here that it's rookie.

    3296, netted 2569. There was lots of coffee, sugary baked goods, two BIG sandwiches (lunch and dinner). I was still under on the week though, and barely ate the day before, so I didn't really care lol
