    I logged the last binge day I had before I got back on the wagon. I was almost at 5,000 calories....
    I believe I was averaging 3,000-5,000 a day.
    I am a recovering fast food addict.

    600-800 on weekdays, probably 400 on weekends. I tended to forget to eat unless I had a scheduled time, such as a lunch break at work.

    Then there were the "binge" days when I ate chips and onion dip or a family get together where I ate everything offered. Those were easily 3500+ days.

    i have no idea. my old eating habits (2 cups of sugary cereal for breakfast with a half cup of whole fat milk. sandwich with white bread bunch of chips. a hot dog and a cheese burger and potato salad for dinner. and maybe some sort of little debbie cake for dessert) . that would be my day today if i ate along with my family, not including my random snacking all day long. i'm guesstimating 2500+ but some days would be waaay above that.

    Round 3000-4500 not counting alcohol (worked in a bar so everyday meant at least 3 pints)

    I actually logged a typical "pre diet" day (fast food, soda, huge breakfasts i would make on weekends) and i was well over nearly at 3000 and this was with NO gym, the weight i've lost to date is more of a testament as to how bad i WAS to how good i am now

    Probably around 4,000 the more I think about it. It was more about portion size for me more than anything else :huh:

    My partner and I were dicussing this the other day, as in life before My Fitness Pal. I cant look at any food now without seeing a little calorie sign floating above it. Its hard to think I Could ever go back. On Holiday last summer we figured we were averaging between 3000 and 5000 a day, some days worse with around 10 beers each. Im surprised I dont have more to loose, seeing as im only supposed to eat around 1600 a day to maintain.

    3500 during the week and pushing 5000 on weekends. I had meals that were more than what I eat in a day now... I hate to even think about it...

    I would save 2000+ with no exercise.

    I actually logged mine before I completely committed to MFP and I was eating 4k-5k a day and not exercising or not exercising enough.

    Probably 3000-4000 depending on the day... I wasn't gaining anymore though. Once I hit 230 I maintained that without watching what I ate or trying to exercise.

    I guesstimate I was eating on average 3000 - 3500 calories. Mostly a lot of empty calories sugary drinks, cakes ,& too many fried foods.

    600-1000 depending on the day. I would usually just one meal a day. Can't believe I thought it was ok.

    I tended to eat nothing throughout the day and then really pigged out in the evening, often consuming around 1000 calories on snacks etc whilst my dinner was cooking :(

    Then i binged drank often consuming about 12 beers easily plus all the snacks that go with the drinking. The next day suffering from an awful hangover i craved stodge so i ate anything and everything bad for me. Probably consuming about 4000+ calories in one day.

    I'd then beat myself up about it and then the starvation mode would start again for a couple of days.....

    Bad times :( Don't like to think about it too much
