    Even if I tried I couldn't eat 5k calories in a day. You people are ****ed up. XD

    cool story jeff.

    2 cups of B&J Half baked = 1,080 cal
    Large Dominos pepperoni pizza = 1, 680 cal
    Dominos cinna stix = 870 cal
    1 serving buffalo wings = 1200 cal
    Large coke = 310 cal
    > but then again, we should probably get a diet coke instead, nomsayin??

    total = more than 5k.

    your argument is invalid.

    Yea this was the kind of answer I was looking for! This meal looks substantial. Diet coke for sure, could sub in a donut or some other carb instead

    This is not a binge. I'm giving myself some time and preparation to welcome a super high calorie day that's all.

    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.

    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.

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

    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?

    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!?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    If I had to binge that many calories, it would be by drinking loads of alcohol <3

    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.

    agreed.

    OP, what is your reason for eating 5000 cals in a day? why THAT many cals?

    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, avocado
