oh my GAWD--- I am SO OFFENDED by one of the previous posts who had the audacity to act as if a 3000 calorie day is a BINGE. ARRRRGGGGH!
PurpleFireFly: " I saw a mention of 2000 or 3000 calories in a day here
there shouldn't be a day that high in calorie cycling."
Many of the 300+ women on here are DIETING DAILY on 1800-2000 calories per day!!!! Don't be so obtuse!!!!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I got to almost 300 pounds not by living on 2000 calories a day... and GOD FORBID I eat :gasp: 3000 calories?!!?!?
Oh noooooo! Seriously? One of my binges doesn't even come CLOSE to 3000 calories. The day I was talking about before, I racked up 3000 calories by eating an apple for breakfast, a banana for lunch, and then going out for dinner and having a sensibly-chosen entree coupled with a shared appetizer and dessert. FAR from what I would call BINGING! Holy crap!
Try waking up and eating 3 pancakes loaded with butter and syrup accompanied by a side of bacon and a huge glass of orange juice. Have 2 double cheeseburgers and a large fry at McD's for lunch (maybe with a milkshake too!), and for dinner split a large pepperoni pizza and a "side" of 20 chicken wings dipped in blue cheese. And then later, make yourself a HUGE sundae out of a half of the 1/2 gallon container of ice cream, smothered in fudge, and covered in peanuts.
Go to your precious little calorie trackers and type all that in and see what you get. You'll learn very quickly what a "normal" life for some fat people is... they certainly wouldn't gape in horror at "3000 calories"..... (by the way, breakfast ALONE racks in 2300 calories, with the whole day coming in at 8200 calories).
A 3000 calorie BINGE?!?! Check your words wisely, b/c that is soooo offensive to some of us here.
