What would me your dream meal if calories did not matter?

I had a huge running day yesterday. My biggest ever since I started distance running. Believe it or not, I was not really all that hungry by the time I got home last night. I still managed 2500 calories, but you can only stuff yourself so much. Since my net negative was so crazy extreme yesterday, I can pretty much have a meal of whatever I want today will no ill effect. If you were me, what would you want to feast on?

    Homemade lemon garlic flavored fried chicken with roasted potatoes and carrots. Pineapple and vanilla ice cream for desert. Gin martini & ice tea with lots of lemon. Portions of the above more than one small bite.

    Sucks being a short girl - ran as many miles as you and I don't get nearly the same calories! Congrats on your long distance running milestone; no small feat to go that far in one day.

    With that said, to answer your question, if I could eat anything for a meal, it would be an all you can eat Brazilian Steakhouse. I go 1x a month to a Rodizios and it's the highlight of my month for refueling from some major calorie deficits I can achieve at times. Highly recommend going to one! Otherwise... I second the "all the pizza" comment from another poster :-)

    I almost always do wings and beer when I have major calorie burns like that.

    @sofchak I know what you mean. I run so much that I am similarly racking up high deficits on a consistent basis. Distance running is a very calorically demanding activity. You are wise to take a day each month where you fuel the monster properly.

    Another vote for sushi if you are going out with a few different people. It's always fun to share the experience with someone else.

    If it's just you then may as well do Al's Italian Beef!!!

    Not that I don't love typical Chicago take out stuff like Portillo's, Al's, Max's. Harold's, etc. but I can squeeze most of that stuff in on a normal day if I have lighter options for other meals. Now something like Malnati's? I have not set foot in that place in over a year :smile:
