    Option 1: Fogo. I'd get a salad or something, too. With their fat bacon strips. Maybe White Castle later.

    Option 2: MN State Fair. Maybe White Castle later.

    HUH? I never thought you implied I had a eating disorder nor would that ever cross my mind that anybody would say or think that about me. Again, maybe it's more about you or what you think ppl are thinking. I'm VERY secure with who I am!
    The ques was simply "how do you know what or how I eat?" You read waaaay too much into that. It was simply a statement stating that as for I can recall WE don't live together so "how would you know how or what I eat?' LMAO @ U!

    I didn't say you had an eating disorder, reading fail. Based on your comments I do feel it's safe to say that you don't have 5k calorie refeeds. Some people, like me, do. So yes, not everyone eats like you do.
    I know you're smarter than that, come on really? You think 100 lb 19 yo female petite can burn 5000K in a day?
    Sunday - 500 calorie deficit
    Monday - 500 calorie deficit
    Tuesday - 500 calorie deficit
    Wednesday - 500 calorie deficit
    Thursday - 500 calorie deficit
    Friday - 500 calorie deficit
    Saturday - 2500 calorie surplus
    2500 calorie surplus - ( 500 calorie deficit * 6 ) = EATING DISORDER

    Ooh wait! I could make the math even more complicated!

    100 lb female, 19 years old, 5 feet tall (just a guess that at 100lbs she'd be on the shorter side)

    http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html
    sedentary tdee: 1532

    http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/marathon.html?bcsi_scan_f904c614ec67d155=0&bcsi_scan_filename=marathon.html
    Marathon training plan, week 20, 10 min mile run pace for short distances, 12 min mile jog pace for long distances, 20 min mile walk pace. Assumed 60 minutes of yoga on days when not running.

    Calorie burns calculated using:
    http://www.runnersworld.com/tools/calories-burned-calculator
    http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp

    Monday - 60 min yoga: TDEE 1532 + 254 = 1786
    Tuesday - 30 min run: TDEE 1532 + 227 = 1759
    Wednesday - 60 min yoga: TDEE 1532 + 254 = 1786
    Thursday - 30 min run: TDEE 1532 + 227 = 1759
    Friday - 60 min walk: TDEE 1532 + 227 = 1759
    Saturday - 60 min yoga: TDEE 1532 + 254 = 1786
    Sunday - 240 min jog: TDEE 1532+ 1513 = 3048

    Total daily average TDEE: 1950
    Total daily average exercise: 75 minutes

    So, this 100 lb 19 year old exercising for 1.25 hours per day and trying to maintain her weight should eat 1450 calories per day Sunday through Friday, and 4950 on Saturday so that she'll have ample energy for her long Sunday run. And that's assuming she's not trying to gain weight because 100 lbs is so very heavy.

    You're averaging over a week. Go reread the original post, kk?

    It says "looking to have a 5000 cal cheat DAY. (Not week, sweetie!)

    You do understand that your body doesn't just reset at midnight right? Read my post again. There's a 5k cheat DAY in it which takes into account everything done for the week.

    I honestly don't know if I could consume many calories in one day. I think if I tried I would feel very nauseous and sick to my stomach. I'm not saying you should have cheat day, but WOW 5000 calories that's a lot.

    283z5.gif

    Hey, just because you can eat that much, doesn't mean everybody can. And I'm not saying I don't have my days were over my calorie intake, I would be lying if I said. I'm just saying 5000 calories, thats a lot. But, to each their own.

    OK. Great. She WAS asking for suggestions. WASN'T asking permission. She didn't ask whether she should or whether other people do. She asked how, yet so many feel the need to chime in with "OMG, 5k in one day, you whale, you beast, you heathen.... THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU.... BE GONE DEMON....."

    Please note that my punching GIF was not focused on you. There have been 50 posts of "OMG, 5k...how could you...." you were just the last.

    I really hope this OP is a troll. I want to thank her. And ask how to get off this 37 foot soapbox I am on.

    AMEN! Bottom line: some ppl can do that, some ppl can not and she has not been back to specify.

    End of conversation.

    Enjoy your day. Have some birthday cake ice cream for me please. :)

    No, I didn't click on all your links or follow up on your math equations. You gave an EXAMPLE. If you don't know her REAL LIFE stats and I don't know them either, I'm not going to argue w you about some cyber fitness hero you've created in you're mind.

    So you're going to vote in favor of someone having an eating disorder, but when I present a perfectly reasonable scenario where a such a calorie intake is not only possible but makes sense you claim that because I don't know the specifics my point is invalid? My point wasn't at all that my scenario was exactly who the OP was, but rather to show that her situation might not be all that extraordinary.

    I am contesting your claim that such a diet is likely to be the result of an eating disorder. That's a horrible thing to say. If you're going to take the high road and say talk about knowing all the facts, it would make more sense to do so before you say she's an eating disorder.

    And I'm sorry that simple addition and division was too much to keep track of.

    I used to do a cheat day but then "occasionally" turned into sever days a week. I try to work in a few treats over the week. If I get an ice cream sundae I try not to get in the mind set that it "ruined" my day.

    You've had so many intelligent things to say to contribute to the conversation today, instead of just following me around like a lost puppy dog. Just thought you might be bored today.
    Did you know exercise burn more calories than chasing someone all over the internet? Yea, think I'll go get mine.
    ENJOY :)

    Step One - Calculate Calories in 20 beers.
    Step Two - Minus those calories from 5000
    Step Three - Drink Beer
    Step Four - Fill in rest of cals with more beer.

    I would probably drink the majority of the calrioes and have a nice steak and a loaded baked potato.

    Thats no cheat, that's a binge. My cheat days (and they are rare) are 2500 calories at most, and usually less.

    2500 calories is a cheat day?!?!?! I eat between 2200 and 2300 calories every day. That must be a very sad cheat day...

    Edited to add: I really don't understand why people are so aghast over the 5000 cal day. As many others have said, it is so easy to hit 5000 cal, and I'm sure majority of us have done it numerous times. Especially after using this site to log calories and seeing how many calories are in things like condiments and drinks, I realize I probably did it more often than not.

    It would involve Mexican food for lunch, probably a fat juicy steak for dinner, mashed potatoes, lots of yummy carbs... and of course lots of beer! :)

    More like lack of interest. But yea I agreed that I was leaning towards the suggestion the first 15 ppl made about a "binge" or eating disorder. Then I spent the next 20 post trying to explain to you that ALL of my comments were made directly to and about the original poster and not 4mil possibilities.
    I'm actually quite bored w/ the conversation. Have a nice day!

    I wouldn't.
  • Even if I tried I couldn't eat 5k calories in a day. You people are ****ed up. XD

    cool story jeff.

    2 cups of B&J Half baked = 1,080 cal
    Large Dominos pepperoni pizza = 1, 680 cal
    Dominos cinna stix = 870 cal
    1 serving buffalo wings = 1200 cal
    Large coke = 310 cal
    > but then again, we should probably get a diet coke instead, nomsayin??

    total = more than 5k.

    your argument is invalid.

    yup I could easily eat 5k.... most ppl dont realise how many calories can squeeze into those naughty foods.

    chase someone all over the internet? exaggerate much? it has only been this thread, in what? a few comments when I noticed your obnoxious standing out among the posts.

    I did make my own post to contribute what I thought to the topic

    you know, it is ok to disagree, but you do is rude.

    and now I AM bored...with you.

    I'm pretty sure for you that would classify as a binge.
    This. I don't plan those 5000 calorie days. They just sort of ..happen... then I plan to spend the next day off work, sick as hell.
