I think my biggest binge was one of those party-size bad of Doritos, a 6-pack of Mountain Dew, a large bag of Hershey’s Miniatures, and a super-size Big Mac meal from McD’s (I think I ate a Filet-O-Fish with it, too). I can’t even tell you how many calories it was.
The most horrible experience I’ve ever had was downing a whole bag of WOW! chips and a 12" sub from Subway. This was before I read the “Olestra can cause abdominal cramping and diahhrea” on the back of the bag. Good lord.

did you eat anything else the rest of the day?
(did you eat anything before or after)
What is your highest total for the day?
Vain
believe it or not i haven’t cheated for about four years. not even a little. it doesn’t really bother me that much but hearing you guys talk about all this food really makes me want to. i just get too scared when i’m ready to do it to actually follow through. somebody convince me.
Vain -
Although I probably have that day chronicled in an old log, I’m pretty sure that I had my normal breakfast (PC meal of 500-600 calories) and at least one other small (300-400 cal) meal earlier in the day.
I’m not sure if I ate anything else during the rest of the day (I felt pretty guilty later), but the binge occured pretty early (like 3-4 pm), so I might have had a protein/flax shake before bed.
For a whole day, I’m not really sure what my max is. One a full blown BFL cheat day from the past, I’d still probably only eat 3 meals and an ice cream for dessert. All the food was mostly restaurant high fat/high carb stuff of about 1000-1500 (2000 on occasion) cals/meal. So I’d guess that my absolute max in a day is like 6000-7000 calories.
So does my 9,000 daily total still stand as the record to beat, or does Joel have me?
This is a bit off-topic, but someone who mentioned the Olestra thing reminded me of something you all will find very amusing, and I am ashamed to admit this but if it makes y’all chuckle then it’s worth it.
About two months ago we got some new bars at the GNC I manage. They’re made by Universal and they’re like a Hershey Milk Chocolate bar but they’re “sugar-free.” I glance at the label and see 2 g. fat (saturated), and 2.5 g. carbs from malittol (sugar alcohol), yielding 30 total cals. I figure it won’t set my diet back so I try one and really liked it, so I end up eating two more.
I go home that evening and noticed I was making a couple extra restroom visits than normal, but didn’t think much of it.
I go to work the next morning and decide to have another couple of bars as they were starting to grow on me. I get all the way through one and about 3/4 of the way through another and then it hits me…the 30 calories,2 g. sat.fat and 2.5 g. carbs are PER SQUARE, NOT PER BAR.
There are 12 squares per bar. Ouch.
I made a total newbie mistake, although I think that’s deceptive labeling as no other bar lists the calorie content per portion of a bar.
Here’s the kicker: the fine print on the label states: excess consumption of sugar alcohols may produce a laxative effect. And I can vouch that they do.
Flame away, fellow T-folk!
2:30 in the morning-
Stoned out of my mind-
I hit up the all night doughnut drive-thru, ordering doughnut after doughnut- none of which were available at that hour.
finally one of the guys in the back said that if I waited they would have a batch of boston creme ready.
“2 min.” -spoke the angel of god.
One dozen Boston creme doughnuts were consumed in a furious, feverish, frenzied, orgy of custard cream filling.
I know a thing or 2 about doughnuts and let me tell you somethin’-
f*ck krispy kreme.

2:30 in the morning.
stoned out of my mind.
I decide to hit up an all-night doughnut drive-thru.
I make known my intentions.
“peanut!”-all out
“chocolate coconut!!”-nope
“apple fritter!!!”-no
“french cruller!!!”-sorry
Suddenly I am informed by one of the fry guys that if I’m willing to wait an entire batch of boston creme will be ready. Fresh. Crispy. Oily.
“When?!?!”-I cry.
“2 minutes”-said the angel of god.
mere moments later, 1 full dozen of boston creme doughnuts were devoured in a furious, feverish, frenzied orgy of custard cream. I nearly lost a hand.
Now I know a thing or two about the seemingly innocent doughnut and let me tell you something:
Boston had his way with Krispy a long, long time ago.

Jason was kind enough to pull up one of my previous emails; this was consumed over a 4 hour time period:
1/2 large Jersey Pizza!
6 Twinkies
1 Box of Good Humor Ice Cream Bars (6 count)
1 Box of Fruit Roll Ups (10 count)
1 15oz T-bone Steak
2 servings of Mashed Potatos and Gravy
1 Cup of Chicken Tortellini Soup
1/2 gallon of Crystal Light
Having said that, today is refeed day, and I shall completely kill the above when I post today’s menu at the completion of the 'feed.
Ok, all bragging rights go to me with a grand total of 1650g of carbs today (and the funny thing is, I didn’t even try!)
1 package of fat free Fig Newtons
1 box of Frosted Cheerios
1 loaf of Wonder Cinnamon Raisin Bread
5, 12oz ground beef and rice burritos
1/2 gallon of skim milk
1/2 gallon of grape juice
1 gallon of crystal light
I had no idea I ate that many carbs until I totaled things up at the end of the day; I should probably count a little earlier next time.
Okay. We’ve confurmed de’ fact (Young Frankenstein) dat we’re a ravenous breed… us T-Folk, that is.
Porter, what are these doughnuts you refer to? Having eaten my weight of KK’s over my 22 years, I would be shocked to find anything that tops “a hot one.”
Joel, that’s some massive gorge’in. 1600 grams of carbs? You da’ man.
This post got me to thinking, do you think we’re sending the wrong people to represent the US at the annual Nathan’s hot dog competition on July 4th. From the looks of this thread maybe we can have a T-dawg with the title!
pooh-
don’t get me wrong, I like the traditional, hot, sugary glaze of the KK hallmark as much as the next Doughnut coveting fanatic, but there exists something inside of me (I know not what) whose penchant for the filling of a boston cream(aka bavarian; aka custard) is akin to the longing felt only by habitual users of crack cocaine when denied “Sustenance.” Pardon the blaspheme: when juxtaposed with the chocolate covered, delightfully yeast risen, custard filled custard creme(heavily sweetened eggs and milk!? who knows my pain!!); the flag-doughnut of the venerable KK chain appears woefully lame.
porter
Porter… you do know that KK makes a boston cream filled doughnut, right? The ones here in GA do, anyway. Personally I prefer the plain ones. I hear you on the crack cocaine reference, though.
My boss brought some KK’s in this morning for our weekly meeting. I ate 3… may God have mercy on my soul.
I can, and do, frequently, down a large stuffed crust pizza from Pizza Hut, and a pint of Ben and Jerry’s in under an hour. With room for cookies too. And I’m only about 165lbs.
man Joel, thats harder than 3 x 9. all you old MM2Kers will remember that one.
Porter,
interesting. I’ve never tried those. Next binge though, they’ll be on my list. Why are doughnuts so darn good?
OK guys.
Scenario - it’s 2000, northern virginia. We have just graduated high school. My friend’s dad rents out HUNAN HERNDON for a full day’s buffet.
I arrive, and begin. 5 hours later I was still eating. I wasn’t exactly keeping good track but I’d say I ate around 11 plates of food.
I was a couple pounds heavier. I went home, and my parents say, we’re getting thai, would you like to come along?
I said YES! So I ate almost my entire dish of thai food, shared maybe a couple morsels, then helped my parents and their friends finish their dishes. Somehow I got back to my car and got home. I had to unbutton my pants homer simpson style - quite an experience. I felt like I was going to die, but the entire day binge was… an experience.
I must also confirm the fact that a good bavarian cream donut is flat out one of the best foods on earth.
Slight refeed tomorrow.
most likely controlled.
cant wait for a half gallon of fat free no sugar added Ice Cream for Breakfast!

Just wanted to take a trip down memory lane. It was a good one.
