Binges... How much did you consume?

Everyone has binges from time to time, and although its been a while since the last time I've had one, I can clearly remember looking in the garbage can at all the wrappers and thinking "did I actually eat THAT much?!" So I'm wondering... How many calories do you estimate you've eaten on one of your worst binges? I'd have to say for me probably around 3500 or so.

    7163cals.


    I did this in a day, regularly, most days really. infact add some curly fries to the pizza. my highest was 86kg which is a BMI of 26 for my height. I'm surprised I didn't gain more.

    I'd guess somewhere around 10,000 calories in a day. Gotta love those gourmet buffets on vacation!

    The worst for me was about a year ago. I ate nine of a dozen donuts in 1 days. If we say 250-500 per donut, then: 2250 to 4500, on top of dinner that was probably take out.

    I'm guessing 1000-2000 calories with some close to 4000.

    It would be...

    half a chocolate bar (the big ones)
    8-12 oz of cheese with bread or crackers
    a box of those delicious mini donuts that Whole Foods had for a while.. there were 6 or 8 in them.
    A box of cookies
    2-3 pastries
    2 ice cream cones/bars
    A pint of ice cream
    A bag of chips (the big ones)
    A box of 20 McNuggets, with large fries (and mayo) and large coke
    Half a pound of salami
    3 1/6th slices of pie

    Yeah, either of those things. Then maybe another one or two later.

    Mine would have easily topped 10,000 I bet. A large Wendy fry, spicy chicken sandwich, large frosty, and a diet coke (:laugh: ) - 1600

    Bag of Twizzlers - 1400

    Lofthouse Cookies - 1600


    And that would just be dinner. :(

    ETA: I put on almost 30 lbs my first semester at college...I didn't handle the change very well!
