How would you plan a 5000 calorie cheat day?

JessicaJoanJarvis

To the people saying they 'couldn't possibly eat that much!' - Just LOL at you all!
You're on MFP... So, let me guess... You became overweight by eating 1,200 calories a day, right?

Psh.

Hahaha love this

hungrypotato

I don't plan bad days but if I feel like just saying f it for that day. I eat like a pig.
And then go right back to good days.

I probably ate more than 5k a day when I was bigger
LoL I would breeze through 5k. That is nothin

Large pack Oreos like 2k
X-large Oreo milk shake like 1k
Large pizza 2k

There you go.

I don't plan it. It just happens. It usually includes a bottle of wine and a general loss of all sensibility...lol.

I might have eaten 5000kcal a few times in my life, but really though, I'm a light weight. Since losing weight I've had hot flushes if I eat a lot more than my body needs in one sitting (one slice of cake after I'd really eaten enough already set me off for over an hour!) and since being pregnant my body expells the food it doesn't have the energy to process.

To stand a chance, especially as I don't eat meat, I'd have to eat sweet stuff. I thought a bottle of champagne would be a good idea, but then realised I'd probably 'lose' that too.:noway: I can see me trying to get that many calories in the day after a long run (if I ever get to doing long runs), but I wouldn't hold myself to 5000kcal if it made me physically uncomfortable.

Breakfast: Biscuits and gravy, sausage, scrambled eggs and hashed brown potatoes.

Lunch: Greasy cheese burger perfectly cooked with fries and a chocolate malt.

Dinner: Mexican ALL THE WAY!!! Bring the chips, cheese dip, guacamole, a large combo platter and margaritas. Then...

Post Dinner Snack: Nuts (whole beautiful unsalted unroasted nuts, cashews, walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, peanuts...yes I know some of these are truly not nuts, but oh well), and a bottle of wine.

WOO!!! WOO!!!

I don't plan for em they just happen when family is in town. Im not turning down grandmas pecan pie because it'll set me back a day. Im not turning down mom's casserole because it has too many calories, and Im definitely not turning down a beer with the friends I rarely get to see just so I don't have to bust my own *kitten* a little harder.

Oh and last time I checked the last time one of the elite won his Mr. Olympia title he celebrated with fried chicken and weed. He also had a shirt that said Arnold is numero uno.

Protip: The gym will always be there, people and events won't be. Enjoy them while you can and don't get so wrapped up in yourself.

Agreed. Life is too short to diet to the point that you miss out on enjoying social events with your friends & family.

Since this is more FANTASY for me, than a reality.. I would play it like this: (also, I would be able to consume gluten just because it has to be like that..and again its fantasy)

Breakfast: McDonalds Bagel Breakfast Sandwich, Hasbrown and a Large Coffee. Est 650-700 cals.

Lunch: Salisbury House Hamburger, side of Fries, Coleslaw and a Thick Chocolate Milkshake. Est.. 1,100?

Dinner: Entire Extra-Cheese-Thick-Crust-Pizza.. Maybe thin... Est. 1,000-1,500 Cals?

Snacks: Peanut Butter Bar .. Est. 300 Cals

..Hmmm..

Snacks? .. Popcorn, Buttery Popcorn ..and Diet Pepsi... Est. 1,000-1,300 (Movie popcorn)

Chocolate anywhere inbetween..Lmao

Goal fictitiously attained.

My cheat day was having a bite of a small slice of Fruit Basket white cake with whipped cream frosting last Saturday.

It WAS great. A year ago I would have tried to eat half the $70 cake.

I am too OCD right now to think of blowing this

Maybe on 1/3/14, when I make goal.

At my age, a 5,000 calorie cheat day would probably kill me, but....

My dream Mother's Day dinner would be:

Appetizer: Maryland Crab Cakes (lump crabmeat only--no filler)
Monkey bread dripping with garlic butter
Salad wedge with a zippy blue cheese and thick bacon crumbles
Entree: 8 oz. filet mignon with crab and bernaise
Sides: Asparagus with hollendaise, grilled mushrooms and onions in a red wine sauce
Chocolate mousse AND bananas foster, followed by a few Godiva raspberry truffles

Pepto chaser and a ride to the ER!

That sounds like a day. Although I don't know what monkey bread is.

ETA - cinnamon type sweet bread with garlic butter??

I might have overestimated myself. I had a mini cheat day today at the buffet, I estimated around 2000 calories, and I am stuffed! I still feel queasy hours after. I might have a small dinner or snack later though.



But this is because this meal was eaten in a span of 1.5 hr. If I spread it out(breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner), 5000 is possible. Anybody watch competitive eating on Youtube like furiouspete, mattstonie, jamie mcdonald? They eat 10,000+ calories at a time but are far from obese which is where I got the 5000 calorie idea from (scaled down to fit my size). I used to think they were so lucky but now I can't imagine doing what they do because even at the buffet, I stopped enjoying the food after the 3rd plate but I ate more because my greedy self wanted to try everything.

This...times two.

The Cheesecake Factory's Bistro Shrimp Pasta, made with a butter and cream sauce and topped with battered, fried shrimp, has 3,120 calories and 89 grams of saturated fat and 1,090 milligrams of sodium, said CSPI, which said it confirmed nutritional data with companies on the list.

Cheesecake Factory said that dish has 3,020 calories, 79 grams of saturated fat and 1,076 milligrams of sodium.

Looks delicious, especially the desserts, but that looks to be way more than. 2000 calories. Most of those desserts alone would be at least 100 calories a piece. But gosh, In sure relate to wanting some of everything. My cheat day would run to 7-8 k, because of ky tendency to want some of all the foods I crave most, hence cheat days tend not to work for me. I just try and have a little something I crave on a daily basis and an occasional splurge meal now.

To all those who are raining on your parade for planning a cheat day, boo hoo. Planning a cheat day could be what this person needs in order to keep up motivation and keep going. I definitely have cheat days and they are SO FUN, and I'm still losing at a steady pace. But I would NOT plan a 5000-calorie cheat day. Oh, no. I would just .... let it happen.

cheese steaks, pizza and cupcakes ...all my favorite fat girl foods!!

My favourites too!!! Mouth watering now!

I didnt clean the plates and I shared the desserts with my mom. If I ate everything I would have blown up

A large A&W chocolate milkshake is 1000 calories.

I'd probably go crazy and order all my favourite foods:

Denny's Grandslam eggs & bacon breakfast or Denny's meat & egg scramble
Turkey & Bacon Wrap from Green Mango for lunch
Stuffed crust meatlover's pizza & cheesy breadsticks for dinner with ranch dressing
Cheesecake for a snack
Poutine for a late night meal

I wonder if all that would be over 5,000. I'd never eat this ever, but it's fun to dream.

That's a cheat week.

Yeah no kidding

I'm confused by this. 5000 calories over the course of a week would be ~700 calories/day. Surely you two aren't eating less than that...

...are you???

this is what i was thinking.
Now.

Breakfast: chocolate chip pancakes(550 for 3), Starbucks Venti white chocolate mocha, with whip. (470) total meal= 1022
Lunch: Portillo's 16 oz chocolate cake shake(1,600 calories), 2 jumbo hot dogs with everything (700), large fry (494) total meal= 2794
Dinner: Ruby Tuesday's Zucchini cakes(428), fries(360), 1 cup of the ham, green pea, and pasta salad(445), Coke(200) total meal= 1433
Dessert: Ruby Tuesday's Blondie for one(630 cals), 1 cup Ben and Jerry's Chocolate fudge brownie ice cream(520) total meal= 1150
Total day: 6399. Just a bit over. :flowerforyou:

Now, this is assuming i could keep all that DOWN! But this would be a day in heaven for mee

I wouldn't...
