I had to use estimations for my main meal yesterday. For those of you who were able to log accurately, how many calories did your Christmas dinner rack up?

    978 kcals -- an "untraditional" Christmas dinner of grilled cheese and minestrone, plus a high-ish ABV beer.

    I only sort of logged. About 700 for desserts, another 500 for dinner, but I didn’t log hors d’oeuvres. Probably another 500.

    It’s a few days out of the year. Soon enough, I’ll be craving vegetables and chicken breast. This week, I’m enjoying the once a year foods.

    I probably put down ~4k cals in total yesterday. I chose to fully induldge in my desires. No regrets at all. The way I see things is that eating such an extreme amount of food on one day is an anomaly in my everyday life. It's not something I do habitually so it pretty much means nothing. It was back to normal today.

    Just over 400 calories for dinner of turkey, gravy and green beans. Nearly 3,000 with snacking on nuts most of the day to not start on cookies, etc. :)

    1000 calories at McDonald's . What a waste! Our Christmas was a few days earlier. I didn't log, but a small pork chop, 1 roll with butter, small roasted potato and lots of roasted zucchini. Not bad.

    894 including coffee and dessert. Finished the day with 208 calories to spare, since I worked out and we didn't eat lunch. Dinner was lamb with mint sauce, roasted root vegetables with tzatziki sauce, salad with ginger dressing, and dessert was cheese, fruit, and chocolate.

    seriously it was 3 days of pigging out until i felt like i wanted to die and then just continuing to shove in cookies as i made room. I want to die right this moment- My body doesnt appear to digest this kind of food (seriously) but i achieved my goal, Got it out of my system and cant *kitten* wait to get back to clean healthy eating. Put on 15 pounds id say maybe 4 will hang around. Not the end of the world ill begin to feel beter when my bloating goes down and i plan to use the feeling of health and weight loss to catapult me into a good 2018, So really no harm done if anything slight benefit to being a gross piggy xD Gonna hold on to this gross feeling for a while keep it in my mind and nurture the desire to eat well

    Skipped dinner. I had the 1600 calorie breakfast and the 1600 calorie lunch. Then I exercised enough to log a green day.

    990 not including wine.

    French onion soup, butter and horseradish crusted prime rib and creamed horseradish sauce, and bacon fried brussel sprouts. Plus dinner rolls and lots of wine.

    No guilt. I don’t care.

    1,430 for dinner, dessert and drinks. That’s more than I usually eat in a whole day. It was well worth it! I set my calories to maintenance for the day, and enjoyed every bite!
