I ate/Drank 3500 calories yesterday and didn't gain an ounce. Woohoo!

On the flip side, I cannot BELIEVE I ate/drank so much!!

What is the highest # of calories in one day you've ever consumed?

    According to my MFP reports within the last 90 days I maxed out at 8k around my birthday :). I've been pretty good since then lol.

    "healthy" is very ambigious :tongue:

    My highest day was coming off a period of very low carbs/cals hence the mass amount of carbs required. All structured not just a random figure I picked out.

    If you were referring to the 3500/day then yep perfectly fine. I'm trying to put on weight at the moment so obviously a surplus of calories is required and my TDEE is approximately 2800 it seems.

    During college I ate near 7000 calories over a 5 year bulk - it did get me from 155 to 215 at 15% body fat, though.

    How do you eat 1000g of carbs? I'm having a ton of trouble eating 500g. I'm usually 50-100g short. Do you eat a ton of sugar? I try to eat mostly starches and fruits.

    It was very hard. I think I had french toast, oats with mass amounts of cereal added (think mixing bowl size), pizza, creamed rice & some fruit & veggies.

    This refeed was aimed to be less than 50g of fat and the majority of carbs from starch not fructose.
