How would you plan a 5000 calorie cheat day?

Fashionably late to the party....
I'll think over how to spend my 5000 calories whilst I wade through all this madness.0 -
Honestly it's so hard to pick. I'm trying to find foods that are worthy but then I realize I already do eat a lot of junk as is lol For example, I already had In N Out twice last month and several Mcdonalds so I'm not really craving those. But I have decided on
Whole medium pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut (1600 cals)
3 Krispy Kreme donuts (700 cals)
Bacon and egg sandwich (childhood fav from local place) (800 cals?)
Diddy Riese Ice Cream Sandwich (500 cals?)
Vietnamese Pork and Egg roll Noodles (1000 cals?)
Boba/Bubble Milk Tea (400 cals?)
Tentative list. My bday is actually very early next month but I don't wanna pig out on my bday! Maybe a week after. Anyway I guesstimated on a lot of the items, do you think they're accurate?
I highly recommend throwing in some Talenti chocolate peanut butter cup in there somewhere. Sara got me hooked on that this weekend and I would probably eat a whole pint on a 5000 cal day and be in heaven!
If you want to go hog wild on the ice-cream, I would highly recommend Haagen Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter - oh lawdy, it's good. Higher calories that Talenti at 360 calories per serving - so a whole pint would be 1,440 calories.0 -

Well damn, now I need to try that one too...Sara, I better look exactly like you when I am done with this ice cream regime!0 -
Waffles and sausage for breakfast, porterhouse and frozen greek yogurt for lunch, porterhouse and sweet potatoes for dinner. Guacamole and tortilla chips for snacks throughout the day. Milk.
Done.0 -

I am disappoint in you Sara. If we're talking about calorie loading.
Cold Stone + donut (for me that's a krispie kreme apple fritter and a large apple pie a la cold stone ice cream)

I would head over to iHop for their breakfast. Pancakes, toast, sausage, eggs and strawberry syrup. With a slice of cheesecake for dessert.0

Easy.
Step 1 : Go to my diary (it's open).
Step 2 : Go to April 1 (my birthday).
Step 3 : Eat what you find there.0 -

Oh, and to everyone in the 'why the hell would you do this' camp, I had three reasons -
1. It was my birthday. And I was going to enjoy it. I enjoy eating. Ergo I ate a lot.
2. I was suffering from some serious, diet destroying cravings. I was just barely holding myself in check and felt I was close to a crash and burn event.
3. My weight loss was looking in danger of stalling, and I had been recommended a refeed.
The results of that day -
1. I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday.
2. My cravings all but disappeared, and those that were left were easily crushed.
3. I posted a loss that very same week, and went back to consistently losing thereafter.0 -

I'm not an ice cream person. Mcdonald's soft serve for about 170 cal usually satisfies my craving for ice cream so I wouldn't down a whole tub.
I scanned through the thread and a lot of people ask why. With the way I'm eating now , I have one or two 1500-3000 cheat days a week but my weight this morning was 90.8 lbs so I think I can go for a higher calorie cheat day.0 -
I wouldn't....I used to be able to eat that many calories in a day, but that was when I was overweight. If I tried to do that now, I would be in severe pain. The highest calorie days I have now are in the 2400 - 2600 calorie range.
That being said, if I COULD stomach more food, it would probably go down like this:
breakfast: french toast & pancakes with butter, maple syrup, nutella, & peanut butter. a bagel with cream cheese. glazed donuts. some bacon. quiche. full fat greek yogurt with honey. a smoothie (2500 cal)
snack: potato chips (500)
lunch: a cheeseburger with real mayo & avocado, fries, onion rings, & a milkshake (1460 cal)
snack: watermelon, bananas, grapes. a blueberry muffin. frosted bsc, cookie dough poptarts, & frosted strawberry poptarts. (1600 cal)
dinner: pizza. a salad with tons of full fat dressing & croutons. mac & cheese and pasta with pesto. a baked sweet potato with butter, sour cream, & cheese. sushi. chicken salad. (3400)
dessert: reese's peanut butter cups, a milky way & a twix, pb m&ms, twizzlers, see's candy butterscotch square chocolates, a slice of cheesecake, a cupcake, a brownie, molten chocolate lava cake, a slice of apple pie, some oreos, some milanos, & some soft chocolate chip cookies. some pb&j on a spoon. ooh and some cookie butter. (4170)
before bed snack: a lot of ice cream (preferably talenti sea salt caramel & ben & jerry's cinnamon buns) + some cinnamon toast crunch with almond milk + more reese's pb cups (1370)
total = 15,000
oops...might be a bit over.

How tall are you? 90.8 lbs is underweight unless you are 4'10". When you are underweight you tend to crave "cheat days", because a malnourished body wants to eat & restore weight. And YES you are most likely malnourished if you are underweight even if you are not eating a starvation intake of calories.
I personally am 4'11" and 92 lbs and on the verge of underweight. I eat enough food (1200 - 2500 a day) and usually have no interest in "cheat days" or binging, I just like eating healthy amounts of food on a consistent basis, but when I dip even a little below my current weight my appetite goes out of control & I get binge urges.0 -
Brunch at IHOP in the morning. Cheesecake factory at dinner, including taking home a piece of cheesecake to eat right before bed.
This is my dream.0 -
First of all, my cheat day would not be more than 3000.0

Haha, I'm not too crazy for ice cream. When I do eat ice cream, it's Mcd, Costco frozen yogurt or some Dreyer if my family buys it. Nothing fancy.0 -
:noway:That's a cheat week.
I'm clearly doing it wrong.
That, and you did notice that OP is < 100 pounds, right?0 -

I'm 5'1. For my body, anything above 90 is alright. I was in the 80s this time last year and that's when it was the worst.0 -

I didn't need to add the rest. I made my point with 3000 being enough for a cheat day.
Congrats on the 70 lbs loss.0 -
