How many calories have you consumed in 24 hours?

Many of us have been beaten by junk food - what's the most amount of calories you've consumed in a day?
If you're not a calorie counter, what's the largest amount of treats you've packed away?
I generally eat around 1,800 cals a day, and work out 5 times a week, along with a bit of cardio and kick boxing. Being in a calorie deficit for extended periods of time, with moderately low carbs, and working the body hard, sometimes hunger builds to extreme levels and it's time to indulge in a 'cheat day'...
After 12 days of regimented clean eating, and lots of gains in the gym, tonight it's time for my bi-weekly cheat...
What's on the menu?
Bacon & egg sandwich - 500 cals
Chicken and pasta salad - 250 cals
125g of giant milkybar buttons - 600 cals
100g smarties chocolate block bar - 600 cals
1 x maple slice - 300 cals
1 x box of Mr Kiplings bakewell slices - 900 cals
1 x litre of chocolate milk - 700 cals
I also have a dominoes order coming at 10.30 with the following -
1 x large stuffed crust pizza (half/half - pepperoni passion and hot & spicy) - 3000 cals
1 x box of chicken strippers - 400 cals
1 x box of chicken kickers - 400 cals
1 x box of potato wedges - 400 cals
1 x box of dominoes cookies - 350 cals
1 x box of dominoes brownies - 400 cals
1.5 litres of diet coke - zero
This clocks in at 8,800 cals - I've done more than this in the past...
Tonight will set me back a good few days, as I'll probably look bloated and crappy until around Wednesday, after the water weight drops and I'm fully back in a steady healthy eating regime and hitting some hard weight training. Then I'll be back in progress.
Everytime I feel I've over done it, I'll watch this guy packing away 16,000 cals in under an hour and feel like my effort was poor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WmQzSs34DE
(This thread is a bit of fun by the way and apologies if this offends anyone with a legitimate eating disorder.)

I think the most I have eaten in a day is around 3000 to 3500 calories but I am not sure when I factor in things like past alcohol consumption it might be a hell of alot more.
I eat around 1700 cals a day, most I've done would be around 4000
It's definitely not....The price gets paid with a food hangover tomorrow....
Everytime I do these, it reminds me of why I steer clear of junk food - it makes you feel and look like shit, but daaamn it tastes good at the time.....
Usually around 1800 ish, though I am apparently meant to eat 2500 at the moment being pregnant and all. So been having some snacks to knock me up to about 2000...and am still losing weight. Its great being able to eat normally and losing
Happy days
If only you could eat what you want and never gain a pound....the world would be a better place!!
Spread out over a day - some of the stuff in the top list was eaten at like 10am this morning. The day's been a cheat warm up, for the Dominoes finale, which will be arriving shortly
I've seen your 'arm pics' posts, so you clearly need it
Must be an insane maintenance level to keep em that size....
When he first told me about this I thought it sounded really unhealthy but apparently its good for you being in ketosis..but not for too long in one go which is why the carb up is necessary :S
This ketosis thing sounds great though on paper..even if you arent a bodybuilder.
Yeah, body builders do this sort of thing to prep for a show. It will involve eating under 50g of carbs a day (which can be tough) with mostly protein and healthy fat, in a calorie deficit against their maintenance, and then carbing up at the end of the week. The carb restriction is to manipulate water weight levels, and free your body up from carbs, which allows it to burn fat for energy instead. The carb up at the end is to add a slight bit of 'bulk' to the end result amongst the muscle.
How do these work? How do they do odds and stuff? Always wondered this...
1 small salad
2 slices of large pizza with olives
I was full for the rest of the evening.
Fail
No food hangover for Annie then! Good effort though.
That's mental. How did you do it?
They usually offer you the odds based on what you weight and a stake amount. At the time, I weighed 24 stone so they offered me odds of 24/1 with a £50 stake which was a win of £1,250 (£1,200 + £50 stake back).
It's all based on the amount of weight you want to lose over the period of time you propose as well and you have to get a "medical professional" to sign off on it as well to say that it won't cause you any additional health problems.
There's rather a memorable thread I created in Advice a few years back out of sheer frustration because my GP was refusing to cooperate. I think the abuse started before we'd even reached page 2
Literally the old cliche of "ate less and moved more". I cut out all forms of junk i used to eat - chocolate, biscuits - stuff like that, and started walking.
I had to start slowly as i wasn't really physically able to walk very far due to the size I was but kept going and kept going a bit further each time and in the last few months of the bet I was averaging between 2-3 miles a day, most days.
Will have a look or that thread in a bit if I remember.
Thanks
I have, rather bizarrely, possibly got the opportunity to do it again for double the money this time around - £2.5k !.
As far as the thread in advice goes, here it is. As I said, it was created out of sheer frustration as i'd been trying to find anyone to sign off on the diet and I thought my GP was being hugely unreasonable for no good reason ..

Should up the ante to £100...5k is a hell of an incentive to keep on track
Saying that 2.5 isnt bad either
Edit. WOW at that thread, only a few posts in and its brutal already
