Looking at your diary you seem to binge on cereal a lot as it is, I feel you wouldn't need help getting to a 5K day. So if the point of this tread was to find out what others would choose to do on a huge binge day, this is what I'd do if I was inclined, though as I'm trying to lose weight I would actually want to do it.
Eggs Benedict for breakfast
Muffaletta for lunch
10 course degustation with matched wines for dinner
Yeah I eat a lot of cereal cause it's easily portion controlled and it's filling when you eat lots of it. However, it's getting boring and foolish when I look back at what I eat cause I could be eating more exciting things. So I'm trying to see what others would eat given this many calories to get some inspiration.0 -
I don't think I've ever eaten that many calories in one day - even after marathons. The idea of it makes me a bit queasy actually. :sick: For someone of my size, that's not a cheat day. That's a full-on binge. I guess I would eat a crap ton of fried foods, a bunch of cake and donuts, sugary drinks, etc. I would not be looking forward to it, though. That would wreak havoc on my digestive tract for sure.0

Plan?? I'd be starting out with a tequila brunch and would then be too drunk to follow any kind of plan.0

Why would you want to eat 5K.? Perhaps look at people's open diaries if you want some new idea's for foods to eat. We are all fat here from overeating, what could possibly be inspiring about finding ways to do that?0

Is it remotely possible to eat healthful and consume 3-5k in a day...My gosh, to think of all of this FOWL stuff going into My Body after all of the hard work to get it out is like Blasphemy. So, I guess everyone's goal is NOT to be/eat Healthy. WOW
who said anything about chicken!?0 -

Nah no buffets. Been there, done that and the food is so forgettable. I could only top 3k at Asian buffets and the most calories I've ever had ever was 4.5k at Golden corral. This time I'd rather spread my calories throughout the day.0 -

I don't know about a nice spread out day, but on my ultimate cheat day (aka, how I used to eat) I would have:
BK for lunch:
Big King
Whopper with cheese
Tender Crisp
Dinner:
I don't know, some Mac & Cheese I guess
Snack(!):
MMMM, Queso with chips!!!
I think that is about 5000 cals together, especially if you add something for breakfast and some bites in between.0 -
jar of nutella has about 2000 cals nom0
-
I wouldn't.0

If I had to binge that many calories, it would be by drinking loads of alcohol0

Why???????? I dont understand why you go on a calorie controlled diet , to i assume, lose weight to then go and have a 5000kal splurge. dont understand the logic, just go out and have a really nice meal with a loved one or friend and enjoy it. I tried to have one day off a week from dieting, waste of time, i ate all the junk i didnt try during the week, and guess what..? yep Come Monday morning i'd put on a couple of pounds for simply being careless. Now i try to balance my sweet craving with exercise so if i want to eat that star bar i need to walk for at least 1 hour and at a good pace.0

No offense but it sounds like you have a really unhealthy relationship with food. I'm not a fan of these'cheat' days but if you're going to do them surely the point should be to have something nice that you like. If your idea of a cheat day is just to shove 5000 calories in your body just because you can that is very unhealthy thinking.
agreed.
OP, what is your reason for eating 5000 cals in a day? why THAT many cals?0 -
5k. this is a binge. are you gonna purge too?
i do understand cos i spend most my time drooling about eating huge amounts of food with zero consequences but you know its not healthy for you to binge and so if you can try to resist the urge to binge you should cos its gonna make you feel so baaaaad afterwards
plan something else to reward yourself with that wont make you feel so bad afterwards. like a nice shopping spree or a spa day or a manicure or something positive and nice. dont plan a binge because trust me i have done it and it did not make me feel gud
calorie dense foods that wont rot you up inside include peanut butter, double cream, nuts, oily fish, avocado0 -
yeahhh i just wouldnt...wayy too much food id prob want to throw it all up0
-
Why the specific number? I don't think it's a good idea to have so many calories worth of unhealthy food, you're going to feel like crap for a few days after - may not be worth it how about having a 2500 calorie cheat day instead?0
