most calories in a day

I've never thought about it either but now I'm looking at that number 12,000 and thinking 'some people eat less than that in 10 days'.

I think before MFP and calorie counting I could have easily eaten 4000+ in a day without realising. And probably more when I was a teenager and a competitive swimmer.

i had never really thought about this before but i wonder how many calories one could eat in a day...between easter candy and alcohol its really adding up without even thinking about it over the last few days

12,000 for me...i was thinking 15k at first but i doubt that high...and ive been close to 10k without even trying i the last few days

12,000? thats alot. The most ever ever eaten is about 3,000. Do you exercise when you eat that much though? Because i dont. Plus guys need more cals. And i tend drink diet pop so my cals are solely food.

~10,400

I've eaten +4000 yesterday and +3000 today My worst days were probably around 5000 (that's without trying to be a fatass). If I actually tried, I bet I could get to 7,000 easily.

Unfortunately, that won't make the weight go...

This

3-4k easily.
12k?! That is A LOT! I can see doing that at a state fair though with all of the deep fried goodness.

4-5k calories per day on the reg. I only have an 8 hour eating window and still feel hungry as fuuuaaark most of the time. If I went for dense sources and had an unrestricted eating window I reckon I could put a dent in 10k

I almost ordered a pizza today, but I didn't because I knew I'd eat the whole thing, and I've been soooooo good lately ...But I've totallly done a whole Domino's pizza + cheesy bread + chocolate lava cake in an afternoon and still eaten dinner. Not sure what that adds up to, and not going to look because I really don't wanna know :P

Dont get me started on Dominos !! Pizza, cheesey dough balls, Ben and Jerrys, chocolate chip cookies, mozzarella sticks....omg i soooo want one right this second I agree with you ...if dominos sent me a list of the cals and content of their food id probably cry! LOL

too
ive eaten a whole dominos pizza before , and im actually scared to look, i bet thats close to 10,000 iif its a meats...glad im not alone in this...im pretending im bulking but this is really just a holiday binge from dieting since new years

I've had 3 whole large papa johns pizzas with garlic sauce and I barely got over 10,000 calories, I doubt a single dominos pizza is even close to that, maybe closer to 3,000 if it's a large meat lovers and 2,200ish if it's a medium.

Haha thanks guys. You're making me feel better

edit: quote fail

i had 9,290 once

o yay look 200th forum post c:

That astonishes me, given you are a 6 foot tall guy, with a goal of staying at 130Ibs.

why does that astonish you?

I hope you will or have seeked help. You have an eating disorder.

oh, so because i'm lean i have an eating disorder? ***** swerve.

That's the problem. You are NOT LEAN. 6 feet tall and 130 lb is not lean. It is sickly thin. The fact that you don't see that you have a problem is further proof that you indeed do have one. And contrary to your PM to me, one does not need to be a medical doctor to see that you are sick. Like I said, seek help.

Um, no. It's not actually. And you assuming I have an eating disorder based on my being slim is disgustingly ignorant. Please educate yourself a little on eating disorders. And really, do you think someone with anorexia is gonna eat 9K+ calories in a day? No. I eat a healthy amount and weigh a healthy amount. If you looked at my page and read about me a little, maybe you would change what you're saying right now. So please, just stop before you embarrass yourself more.

Soooooo...this thread turned out well...who's up for a drink??? :drinker: :drinker:

I'm pretty sure my highest would be around 5000 cals lol.

Don't even want to think about it. I added up an average day of beverages before I was tracking and it came out to over a 1000 calories a day. On just drinks. And that was just juices and sodas-- no alcohol.

Last summer I'd stop at McDonalds and order 2 Rolo McFlurries (650 calories each). I'd eat one before I got home and save the other one for later. Then dinner would be something covered in cheese and deep fried! I'm sure I was eating at least 3 or 4 thousand calories a day. I was eating a lot but what I was eating was EXTREMELY fattening!

Had a bit of an (okay... major) emotional eating binge yesterday... 3800 calories.... Most calories I've consumed in one day since... well... months (if not years...).

Prior to losing weight, I would guess I ate 2500-5000 a day, without any (or very little) activity.
