3545 calories today, how do you do it? I am going to have multiple peanut butter sandwiches and maybe a beer tonight. What do you eat in these situation were you just cant eat enough for your daily goal?
I look at some of the other threads, and I see things like peanut butter or an avocado. But one avocado is only 140 calories. I don't even like them that much.
What are you eating?

    If it's a one-off or rare occurance, I don't worry too much about being under. If I fancy a spluge on a takeaway or something then I will, but if not, it's not the end of the world.

    If it was a regular occurance, I would just have to adjust to bigger portions, more frequent eating and lots of calorie dense foods (cheese, nuts, red meat, olive oil...) Even those cartons of fresh orange juice and stuff have quite a lot of calories!

    I seriously just struggled with this last night! I ate cereal with milk. Sandwiches are good, too. Today I corrected that problem by eating a higher calorie breakfast and lunch. I was feeling so sluggish last night after an over 1000 calorie burn yesterday and not enough calories eaten!

    Typically I do not agree with drinking your calories--but whats one beer, right!?

    Or six.

    I have to push the banana bread beer. I'm in love. Don't tell my fiancee.

    Ok, Pizza, beer and pie sounds good so far. Really I could have a round day. I'm thinking of adding a big mac into the mix too.

    How are you all managing to have so many calories to eat? Can't see how you can lose weight eating that much. How much exercise do you do? I do at least 1 exercise class ie. body attack a day if not 2 but only gain a couple of hundred extra calories for each. Am I going wrong somewhere?

    Stop eating. That's usually what
    I do because part of this is training my mind and body to stop eating when I'm not hungry. Otherwise, I have almonds (plain) or PB, or a whey protein isolate powder mixed with water.

    i burned 3k calories by doing 3-4 hours of intense cardio twice last week and didn't even bother eating back the calories. i ate a regular meal and wasn't hungry after that.

    I've just had a peanut butter on wholemeal bread sandwich for my dinner and it was very nice!!! I'd like to know how on earth you have such a high calorie allowance???!!! If it's through earning calories through exercise then, personally, I wouldn't eat them.....

    everyone is telling you to eat crap but you should stick with just eating good food but with high nutrient densities.

    yeah thats what i was figuring, just 3500 seems high, thats all. I'm jealous is all, i'm around the same weight and at 1600 cals a day reduced, so a 2000 cal gap seems huge.

    as for the crap part, some crap is ok, calories are calories as long as its a once in a while thing, sure eating crap all the time is bad but eating it once in a while isn't a horrible thing
