    Over 10,000 for sure.

    I went to a college football game and said the hell with the rules that day.

    The party started at about 8am with a hearty breakfast followed by loads of booze (alcohol is high in calories) then snack stuff all day at the tailgate and a continuation of the booze and then snack stuff once we got into the game.

    It was worth it, I had a blast and it didn't hurt me. And it's only ever been that one time.

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

    Maybe they were former bingers? Maybe they went to a restaurant and went hog wild?

    I am pretty sure I had some high calorie days whenever I would just pig out on random junk food.

    yep. worst binge was nearly 20,000.

    Now the most I've had has been about 2400 - however net was still under 1600.

    I've been good since starting logging. But in my teenage years, or fat years.

    I don't know, 10, 20? 30k? It's possible.

    2L + of soda, bags of candy, bags of chips, cookies, regular meals. Whatever.

    Much better now though.

    Probably in the 5000k region but that was at least 4-5 years ago. Nowadays if I binge it ends up in the 3k region. Maintenance cals are about 2.5k

    I'm sure a day of drinking and junk food has put me well into the 15-20k range. Those don't happen much anymore, but I will be having one soon and plan to track it, so we will see.

    For me...3,500

    Heh... that's my maintenance...

    I don't know exact numbers, but from rough estimates it's over 10k. Between drinks and food, I know it was at least that.

    Honey, if I am gonna go that far into pig-out-dom I'm sure as heck not counting!!!!

    Agreed. If I'm going to pig out, I'm not going to bother counting. If I had to guess, I'm sure I've had 4-5k calories a day at my highest. That can happen pretty easily when it comes to buffets and eating entire bags of candy.

    Probably 12k+ when I was eating the way I used to eat. Papa Johns would send me sooooo many free offers....

    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.

    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

    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. :)
