    I do probably every Friday night. I don't log because liquor drunken me, but it has to be around the 1500-2000 mark. Good thing the only thing that matters in weight loss/maintenance/gain is the long term behavioral trend! Friday is the only day I eat like that.

    As I discovered yesterday to my dismay and my scale confirmed this morning, the chocolate chip cookie skillet at Chili's is nearly 1,500 calories, just by itself. D: And that was just dessert ...

    If you were asking if you could eat your daily caloric intake in 1 meal for the duration of your diet.

    "Nutrition scientists from the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center examined diet habits of a group of normal-weight, middle-age men and women. Participants were divided into two groups: volunteers who consumed either all of their required weight-maintenance calories in one meal a day or in three meals a day. Researchers observed that "one mealers" had significant increases in total cholesterol, LDL "bad" cholesterol and blood pressure, compared with their levels when they ate three meals a day. In addition to these changes, "one mealers" had higher morning fasting blood sugar levels and a delayed response to the body's insulin."

    From the Herschel Walker diet on livestrong. If you're not familiar with him he eats all of his calories in 1 meal, its also stated that he hasn't released anything on his cardiovascular or blood glucose.

    It's easy to do when you're eating out or having a special-occasion meal. Log it as best you can and eat light (but not crazy light) tomorrow. It all comes out in the end.

    Thanks, I love this kind of informative posts.

    I guess more meals tax the body less. Logical.
