    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

    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.

    Breakfast @ Waffle House
    Lunch @ Five Guys Burgers & Fries
    Dinner @ Japanese Hibachi
    Plus lots and lots of Southern Comfort

    and the next day I would be sick as a dog with a bad hangover...

    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.

    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..

    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.

    119pedu.jpg

    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.
