    No idea highest ever but yesterday was a big calorie day:

    4,289 eaten which left me with a 1,198 deficit for the day!

    (Long cycle ride gave me a lot of calories to eat back.)

    Since starting at the start of the year my biggest day was Super Bowl Sunday, 3649 calories.

    Hmm, I really haven't indulged like I used to, though I've had a few 3K+ days over the four months (Easter, after-work drinks and pizza). Not feeling deprived at all.

    10,000 to 14,000!

    It was about 3 years ago. I ate an entire Papa Murphy's pizza, a wheel of brie, a full IHOP breakfast, one of those monster burritos from Chipotles and a pack of Sausalito cookies. I drank 7 beers, a couple of cans of Mt Dew and a glass of milk through out the day. I want to say that adds up to over 4000+ calories, maybe more? I have always been told I eat like a man, and at that point in my life I was 40 lbs overweight. I look back at times like that and can't even fathom doing something like that now.

    I'm willing to bet that is probably closer to twice 4000 calories

    1889 calories, last Thursday. How do some of you guys get 4k+?!

    My maintenance is about 4100.

    Probably around 6-7k on Thanksgiving. At least. (Darn you, tasty Filipino food!)

    Mine was probably around 5,000, though it was before I was counting calories: breakfast, two lunches, two quarts of Gatorade, four Clif bars, a medium soft-serve ice cream, and the better part of a pizza with beer. I bicycled 125 miles that day, though, much of it in rolling hills, so I had a net calorie deficit.

    Since I've been tracking- no more than 2800.

    However I can think of many days in my past where my guess would be that I had around 4-5K.

    Since I started tracking (less than a month ago), a little over 2600. There's no telling what the most was prior to that. I'm sure it was really high! I guess I'll see the next holiday or cookout. :)

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was as much as 5000. I used to eat whole packages of ice cream, bags of chips, cookies, in one sitting. I still can, though of course my willpower is a lot stronger now xD

    I have eaten over 7,000 calories in a day multiple times this year. Each time I remained close to my weekly calorie/macro target.

    Weekly calorie/macro tracking has helped me remove all guilt associated with days like this. I always know I can make up for it by the end of the week.

    Oh man, I've had some doozies... I'd guesstimate upwards of 15-20k over a day? dozens of times in my life. I grew up on a farm and there were days I ate 15k calories for 4-5 days at a time and LOST weight (It's absolutely staggering what 13-14hours of stacking/throwing/mowing 80-90lb bales of hay in 95 degree weather outside and 110 in the mow non-stop for thousands of bales will burn off.) I remember eating until i was dead sick to my stomach and still being hungry and wanting to keep eating.

    I think the worst I remember is... 2 large dp dc pizza, ~40 buffalo chicken wings smothered in blue cheese, double order of moz sticks with marinara, 2 subway subs (chipoltle steak & cheese with double meat and extra cheese, mayo, chipoltle, a1, and vinegar & double meat tuna with extra cheese mayo, vinegar), a 2L of pop, & a large chocolate ice cream double cookie dough blizzard with mud fudge added. Plus some chips throughout the day too.

    Just ball parking that would be ~6k in pizza, ~4k on wings & bc, ~1.6k in moz sticks, ~3k in subway, ~800 pop, ~1.5k in blizzard, and call it... eh 1k of chips... that's ~18k.

    For what it's worth - it was delicious... course that wasn't when I was bailing hay... so that likely all went straight to my gut... and I don't mean my stomach.

    Till I joined MFP - Not Sure. But in last one month 2700-2800 net is the most I guess.

    Dread to think but I'm guessing over 8 thousand and probably much much more.

    During my college years, I probably broke the 10,000 mark a few times. Just guessing though.
