    Sounds like this is just an error, but it's good you realized it. You'll get the hang of it soon and start to realize which kinds of foods you might want to know the calorie counts before you dive in. Nuts are a big one for me. Dried fruit and cheese are two others that never fail to amaze me. I weigh them by the gram, for sure nowadays.

    I couldn't imagine eating 3000 calories of anything in one sitting. I don't know if you can accidentally do that. I think I would get sick.

    Regardless of if 3000 was an exaggeration or if it was a big *kitten* bag of peanuts (a handful is like 150 cals after all) learn from the experience and start anew tomorrow. Nothing else to do. Like Scarlet O'Hara said "After all tomorrow is another day" :+1:

    And yet young adults do it all the time. On a whim checked out Burger Kings calorie listing. Triple Whopper w/cheese, King fries, and King size choc shake is 3,090 calories. And we wonder why our children have obesity problems. Crazy parents.

    They are just giving the masses what they want. Nothing wrong with that.

    ok so you went a tad over board, we all do it from time to time, even bodybuilders lol I've seen it. Just try to be prepared for the future, portion some snacks if you feel like it will help. don't be so hard on yourself... is eating 3000 calories in peanuts going to really effect you in say 6 months or a year? I bet you will forget about it lol. Just do better from this moment on :)
