    That is the kind of splurge I wouldn't even bother logging.

    there is no issue if you do have a binge like that. the issue is when you binge like that regularly.

    i would probably do a buffet at most once in 6 months. and when i do , im gonna go for it or its not worth it.

    im not going to sacrifice everything i love for the sake of iit.

    Well personally I would log it, as I have a history of binge eating disorder and find that holding myself accountable for everything with documented data is good for me right now. Mind you that doesn't mean feeling bad or shaming or anything like that, because that too can be a negative mental poison.. just holding yourself accountable.

    Like, I just ran one of my old binges through the nifty MFP calorie counter and I was shocked at just how much food I put down in 25 minutes - a whopping 5,800 calories of fast food and soda. That's just one binge. I did that constantly. To see the data stare me in the face is tremendously helpful.

    Only time and experience will say what is best for the OP and their own personal habits and history in regards to logging a day like that.

    By the way I'm new 'round these parts, nice to meet you all.

    Just my opinion, of course, but I completely disagree with this approach. It makes a later objective evaluation of your efforts/approach/plan/etc. totally bogus. I also believe that it would make most people more likely to do it again in the future as it takes away some of the accountability.

    But I'm of the (admittedly minority) opinion that people should log their holiday meals too (for these same reasons).

    Wow, 9,500 seems crazy high. There could be some inaccuracies in the food database. If you did, your stomach must be killing you, lol. I say kudos for logging it. Great to see someone interested in keeping track of what he eats; even when it isn't an pat-on-the-back opportunity.

    seems right
    I am 145 lbs women and I can eat 5000 in a day easily.
    log it or don't move on, it was one day

    yeah, one day in which you ate your whole week's worth of calories...

    where do you think they go? do they just "move on" too?

    How judgmental. I'm sure that will really help the OP.

    it's not judgmental, it's reality. what's the point of ignoring reality? the OP should probably eat a few hundred cal less per day this week to make up for it, unless she's ok with a couple pound gain.

    what's the point in sugar coating? maybe if she realizes what this does to her body, she won't do it again. a splurge is one thing, almost 10,000 calories is something else entirely.
    I doubt that the OP, Patrick (he), was trying to ignore reality. You just seemed to jump in with a snarky, judgmental comment which is seldom helpful to anyone.

    Fortunately Patrick ignored you.
