    Our holiday meal is on Sunday. I'm not expecting to go over. My MIL isn't a good cook and she insists on making the meal :-1:

    Probably 2500. Breakfast, ham with two sides (one of which I didn't finish), desserts, and a sandwich with leftover ham.

    1450 here. It was kinda hard too! I'm proud of myself to have been within my calorie limit.

    I'm not sure about Christmas day, as I had no internet or cellular service and I didn't care to write it all down on paper. Probably 3,000 ish, as I ate "light", lol. Today (26 December), I hit 4,000+. We have no leftovers, so it's back to business as usual starting tomorrow.

    I have no idea. I decided long ago that Christmas Day was the one day in the past year that I would allow myself to not log specific foods. I did a Quick Add of about 4000 and let it go at that.

    :smile:

    About 1700 calories. I was full at that amount so I can't imagine myself consuming 7000 calories in one day. I looked at what they thought people were consuming and that is nothing like what I have ever had.

    Not sure, but I bet it was close to 6,000-8,000.

    about 500 probably, and thats a high estimate. didnt feel well and didn't eat much of anything all day. will say that it was good at the end of the night not feeling like i was gonna explode due to overeating.

    I would guess 4000. Didn't attempt to keep track though and there was a lot of food throughout the day.

    Didn't log but probably 3500-4000... but it was Christmas. Today I ate around 2000, but was still over my calorie goal by 500. I NEED to get back in the gym before the extra calories start showing - I've been lazy these past two weeks!
