You'd probably feel really stuffed and not so good- what would happen I'm not sure- but I know I couldn't stick to it.
I usually eat 1300ish calories a day- to eat that all at once I'd be very uncomfortable afterwards and probably starving by the next evening or time I ate.
Generally my dinners are higher in calories than my lunches and breakfasts though.
Are you asking if you can still lose weight if you do that? I think the answer, hypotheically, is yes. You may feel stuffed but if you ate nothing else, you'd lose.
But that doesn't mean it's healthy or realistic... I don't think it's something most people could sustain. Which means at some point you'd go off plan, and then eat too much, and then, well, it wouldn't work.
So, hypothetically, you could lose, but realistically, I don't think many people would be successful in the long run.
I think one cheesecake has about my daily calories. If I ate it, I would feel full but very guilty. I would then get very hungry a few hours later because my blood sugar would be quite low so I would end up eating anyway and would probably gain the weight.
Are you asking physical or emotional consequences?
You would be full for a few hours, then very hungry for several hours till your next mealtime. Unless you had supreme willpower, you would go off track. If you didn't go off track , you would probably be slower and more lethargic during the day.
Lots of weightloss and fitness gurus advocate eating smaller meals more frequently. The idea being that something in your stomach actually revs your metabolism.
this is definitely a bad idea. i used to do this because i wanted to lose weight only eating really high calories foods so id only eat once or twice a day. i did this for a few months and lost nothing because as people have said you get hungry and then need to eat again. now that im older and much wiser i know its way easier to stick on plan if you just eat small things throughout the day. i also DESPISE that stuffed feeling.
If you are thinking of doing this as a once in a while thing - say a big party dinner or something, it would be fine. For me, we used to go out to brunch every Sunday and have a nice sized meal and that would be it for the day. I would not try to do this all the time.
Well, my meals do tend to be lower calorie earlier in the day but just not eating isn't something that would work for me, but it would work as a calorie is a calorie.
However, there have been a few times where relatives have come and we've gone out for HUGE brunch and I've been statisfied for the rest of the day and just picked at a snack at supper time.
There are times when that happens for me. Like yesterday. Ran out of the house with my oatmeal only to realize it was undercooked and gross. Ate a decent lunch but had forgotten to pack a snack. Got home and needed to clean house because my MIL was coming over to watch the kids. By the time husband and I got to the restaurant I was starving and ate over my calories (it was supposed to be a high calorie day anyway though) in one meal. It's not something I feel comfortable doing more than once a week, less if possible. But I do do it from time to time.
One of the problems that could arise, even on just one day is the effect it could have on your blood sugar levels. Eating a days worth of calories in one sitting, or very close together, especially if the food was heavy carbs/startch/sugar, it's going to spike a person's blood sugar levels, then when they crash later, the person would not have anything to level them back out.
All your calories at once....
