    Well, my highest since tracking was probably 3200-3300--Thanksgiving Day! I had some GI distress for a couple of days afterward! More than the calories, I think my body was shocked by the increased fat! I'm rather happy that I've lost my tolerance for it...maybe that will discourage a binge in the future. I'm usually shooting for about 1500-1600 calories a day. I probably could maintain at about 1900-2000.

    My diary is public, and I welcome anyone to judge me. I am doing ok on quantity of food, but am still working on quality.

    My diary is public so I have some measure of accountability. If I didn't feel like I was being judged, I wouldn't work so hard :-)

    So....feel free to judge me!!!

    My highest was probably over 3000....before I was on MFP, I am sure I went over 5000 on more than a few occasions.

    I hit about 2800 calories once, on my birthday. Cake and ice cream, rich dinner, lunch out with co-workers...yeah, I overdid it that day. But maintenance is between 1800-2100, so I can easily eat that.

    I figured out a while back that before MFP I was eating anywhere between 4000 & 6000 a day. :noway: When I was a teenager I was eating even more than that! :explode:

    Obviously, not anymore! My highest since being on MFP was around 3000. :mad: Felt like total cr*p afterwards & vowed to never do it again.

    Now I try to aim for right around 1500. :heart: Unfortunately, I do go over quite often. :grumble:

    Just feel better when I eat better. :bigsmile:

    I know people who maintain on 5,000 a day. I know this is a calorie counting site, but I think some people on here tend to get a very unhealthy obsession with the number of calories. Just like some people get an unhealthy obsession with the number on the scale. Low calories does not automatically mean good, and high calories does not automatically mean bad. Just like I'm currently 70 pounds overweight according to BMI, but I'm in a healthy body fat range, and would have to amputate an arm and a leg in order to get to a normal BMI. All numbers are relative.

    I maintain on about 3,000 a day, sometimes 4,000 depending on how active I am. I cut at about 2,500. *shrug*

    Thank you!! well said :)

    i normally only eat a lot if I burn it off..so if i ever approach 3,000 cals its because i've burned 4-5,000 cals. Even during the past two weeks with all the temptation i didn't go completely overboard. i LOVE sweet potato pie and it took me 4 days to eat 1 whole one..before I would've eaten 1 in a day.

    The highest I logged was about 3600, but I've seen stopped logging on weekends and I'm sure there's been higher.

    10,000, wow! I am actually striving to hit 3000+, mostly raw fruits and veggies :smile:

    I think my jaw would give out before I could consume 3000 calories in raw fruits & veggies... unless there was a chocolate fountain involved. :heart:

    My highest was probably around 3500....thanksgiving, no exercise, and there was LOTS of pie (and other goodies). I couldn't help it, everyone else was eating it around me and I totally caved!! :laugh:

    I think my highest was 2,200.. and I wanted to throw myself off a high bridge.

    Shoot... 2200 is a pretty common number for me! I've hit 3500 a few times since joining MFP, but those high intakes are usually limited to when I'm out backpacking or doing a 25 mile bike ride.

    I'm netting 2000-2100 every day and losing. If I'm really active I will get up to 2300. I'm not really active overall but steadily increasing. I could easily see hitting over 3000 if I could hike like I used to.

    I love the friend who quick logs 20k when he has his cheat meals. :bigsmile:

    Every day was just this big orgy of goodness.. Butterfinger milkshakes, cheese, cheese, cheese, moonpies, pound cakes, mac and cheese, vodka, pizza, fries, ice cream. One day was about 5,000 calories. Balls.


    Way to throw this guy out there.... I've done 4000 before. I was bulking, but that was mostly wine.

    4,000, mostly in wine cals. I bet that was a FUN day! :drinker:

    isn't a plate of good ol' buffalo wings around 1,500 cals (at least I heard that). If so...damn, I must have hit some super high days in the past!

    wings, pizza, beer....lol. I don't even want to think about that now. :noway:

    I don't follow peoples calorie counts, but as for me, I've always been under 2,000. Sometimes I barely make it to 900 on some days!

    Before MFP, i didnt know what a caloie was lol Naive as i was, we have a all you can eat chinese place not far from here and i know i filled my plate more than 5 times on occations! with not a carrot stick in sight haha

    Since i started loggin a couple of month ago i had a seriously crap week, where everything i touched broke, so to end a crappy week, i eat a whole 12 inch pizza (with extra cheese) onion rings and as much fries as i could musta. I logged it all as 1,000,000 calories! lol i bet it wasnt far off though. It made me laugh as it said i would weight 1,950lbs is i ate like that for 5 weeks LOL
