I'd easily get 2000kcals at McNothing and that was one meal. No wonder I porked up to my lovely obese current state.0

Oh man.. before MFP, my over eating was way out of control. Here in eastern canada we have something called a donair, its made with ground beef in sliced on pita bread and topped with a creamy garlic sauce, at first i only used to order one with extra meat but that soon escalated into two large donairs with extra meat..
so we are looking at probably 2000+ calories for just one meal... ontop of everything else i ate that day.. chips, chocolate, my lunch and anything i could put into my mouth at work after serving meals to the residents at the nursing home i worked at. =/ Le sigh.0 -

I used to eat about half a box (small, not family size) of cereal with pasteurized milk daily... no wonder I had gas all the time, lol!!0

It's not an eat per say..its a drink.. diet soda. Once I learned the yuck in that stuff... I'm strictly a water girl now with lemon or oranges..Don't miss it a bit!0

This is really interesting for three reasons.
One- I think a lot of you might be american as I've never heard of half the things you're eating (I *really* don't want to know what a sausage biscuit is- sounds awful!)
Oh, honey...a sausage biscuit is heaven on a plate. Especially if you add sausage gravy to it. Or just mustard. Down here in the south, it's not breakfast unless there is some type of pork fat. And butter. It's been really difficult for me to adjust to eating non-salty-carby stuff like yogurt and oatmeal for breakfast.
:laugh: Ahhh... Sausage biscuits with mustard are UNBEATABLE! Omg... my mouth drools just thinking about it. lol0 -
I used to make 'pork lo mein' by frying 1lb of pork sausage, adding 2 packages of ramen noodles with the seasoning packets ( I mean sodium bombs1) and 1 bag of shredded cabbage.
I'd eat half of it. Blechhh, now I can't even stand the thought of it.
Tater tot casserole made with hamburger, 1 1/2 bags of tots and a large can of Campbells mushroom soup. Full of fat and salt!
As far as fast food, I loved Wendy's spicy chicken, a medium fry and a chocolate shake. I still don't know the calories or sodium but I'm sure they are horrendous!
My fav. 'fast' food was Chilis regular size rack of ribs. I think it's about 3,000 calories. I wouldn't eat all of it but I'd finish it the next day.0 -
My favorite was always Zaxbies. I'd probably get this two or three times a week for dinner after work (I worked a full time and part time job and got very lazy!)
KICKIN' CHICKEN SANDWICH MEAL (includes fries, bottled water)
--calories 1065
--fat 57
This is essentially my entire calories for the day now and I didn't even exercise more than walking around work back then! This would be a dinner following a convenience breakfast of pop tarts or something similar, usually an easy meal of some lunch-meat sandwich with cheese and mayo and a lil bag o chips.
I've dropped 20lb's since those days and never want to go back. I was so tired, sluggish and never felt good! What a world of difference! I now keep a protein bar in my purse in case i'm running low on fuel!0 -
Everyone in my family loves Friendly's restaurants.
I would either have the Honey BBQ Chicken supermelt (1500 calories with fries) or Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas (1250 calories). That did not include the Coke to drink.
Any you know it's not a trip to Friendly's unless you have a sundae.0 -
I used to drink Nesquik's chocolate powder (I would put abut 4 or 5 full tablespoons!) blended with milk and I used to add lots of cinnamon powder to it too. I could drink 2 or 3 a day and I can only be glad that I didn't have diabetes or heart problems.
And I would finish a full box of cereal in 2, 3 days.0 -
Those god-awful rice cake things.
yuk! my wife used to buy those. I hate them.0 -
Heh. I work at Dunkin donuts. So most days...
Plain bagel with cream cheese
Iced caramel coffee with skim milk(at least two, usually more)
And then I would snack on about 8 munchkins. Because eating 8 munchkins is better than a whole real donut.
1310 calories!
And usually more, if I had more munchkins or another coffee.
Yeah.. Now I bring my own oatmeal, Greek yogurt, and snack on a banana. And only drink water, because I can't trust myself to get just skim and sweet and low in my coffee.0 -
When I was a poor college student I used to live off Wendys and Pizza Hut. Now I can see why I was so fat in college.0

My Meal was
Mc Donald's
Double Quarter Pounder w/cheese
Super Sized Fries
2 Double Cheese Burgers
Large diet (To balance it? Denial at it's best)
Total Calories: 2224
Total Fat : 120g
Saturated Fat: 45g
Sodium: 4023 mg
Total Carbs: 185g
This was at least 3-4 times weekly sometimes even twice a day. Since I started using this web site I have not even consumed this many calories in one day, I stick with 1400 daily and plan to increase in about a month or so and get up to about 2000 a day as I build up my endurance to go with extended exercising.0 -
About half a year ago, a normal evening meal consisted of (at least) one bag of Zweifel Paprika Chips, a bag of popcorn and a container of kinder chocolate.
Which is 1980 calories... and really disgusting.0 -
I was JUST saying to my husband "I used to eat almost a whole row of oreos with milk"! Tonight (after burning 1000 calories exercising today) I had 4 Earth Fare Organic Vanilla Sandwich cookies and almost barfed! haha0

Around here we have a fried chicken place called Lee's Famous Recipe. Every Wednesday they have a special; three piece chicken dinner for $3.99. Great Deal! My usual consisted of three thighs extra crispy, a side of potato wedges, a side of mashed potatoes with gravy and a biscuit. I had this fairly regularly, but not weekly by any means.

Bleh... used to be terrible with fast food....
This is what I would get at sonics: super sonic cheeseburger, large tater tots, and a large cherry coke .... for a grand total of 2070 calories...... BLEH!!!!!0 -
My downfall was college...go out on the weekend drinking and dancing, then stop at Jim's Steakout for a Chicken Finger Sub meal. Yup...no calorie information on that but I would eat a whole one plus fries at 2, 3 AM. I was never big on fast food...especially not McDonald's just driving by one has always made me want to throw up!
My other downfall was not knowing I was allergic to dairy. Once I knew and cut that out, so many things were better!!!0
