Can A Casino Buffet be 9500 Calories

seems right
I am 145 lbs women and I can eat 5000 in a day easily.
log it or don't move on, it was one day

yeah, one day in which you ate your whole week's worth of calories...

where do you think they go? do they just "move on" too?

Is there a thread you won't troll? Seriously. At 425lbs he did not eat a whole weeks worth of calories in one sitting. Do the math on what his calories are at 425. I know your role here is to rile everyone up and be a delta bravo but seriously...you are absolutely a thread killer.

seems to me the thread continued quite nicely. and it's not trolling. all these responses are "no biggie, shrug it off, move on"

what the hell do you learn from that?

I know I'll get flamed for this seeing as it will come across as judgemental.

The mind boggles at the sheer amount of food consumed here and the fairly nonchalant replies.

I'll start on a tangent - I'm obviously here because I've overeaten a fair bit in my time, and I have had issues with accepting my body as it is, but more recently I have had increasing uneasiness about the way we eat and use resources, in a world where there is STILL so much starvation.

I grew up poor in a developing country and I spent most of my teenage years hungry and severely underweight. Probably why I packed on loads of weight when I emigrated. I used to think I hard earned the right to eat whatever crap I wanted, and I've done my fair share of bingeing once I ventured into diet land. However in the last few weeks I've begun to feel seriously disturbed at how much rubbish we overeat. The feelings of guilt I get now after overeating are less 'oh no I'll get fat' and more 'what gives me the right to consume so much?'

Yes we are lucky (and in some ways unlucky) to have so much access to good food etc; and everyone deserves a blowout every now and again but I wonder if people don't sit back and consider the difference between enjoying a good meal with loved ones just because you can (forget the calorie count) and stuffing your face to the point where you must have felt sick.

Actually my issue is less with the OP who ate 9500 or whatever calories but with all the replies going yeah, yeah whatever about it and shrugging it off as normal. I struggle to see how someone can eat close 10 000 calories without your body telling you that this is far too much and feeling extremely unwell unless you've adapted your stomach size to this sort of overeating which simply illustrates my overall point.

(By the way this post is not relevant to those who may have eating disorders as that's a different kettle of fish and one I'm not qualified to comment on).

How judgmental. I'm sure that will really help the OP.

it's not judgmental, it's reality. what's the point of ignoring reality? the OP should probably eat a few hundred cal less per day this week to make up for it, unless she's ok with a couple pound gain.

what's the point in sugar coating? maybe if she realizes what this does to her body, she won't do it again. a splurge is one thing, almost 10,000 calories is something else entirely.

For example on my deficit diet, losing 1+ lbs a week for the last 5 weeks, I eat 1.5+ lbs of chicken breast & 2.5 lbs of vegetables. Plus a large amount of other food...pint of ice cream, 5 cups of cereal, 17 cups of water, a few sodas...coffee...50% of my diet being consumed within 2 hours of going to bed.
