Story: I'm in a frat, and last night I basically had to consume somewhere between 5000-8000 extra calories of the worst food ever. Cake, cookies, moving on to spam, ketchup, mayo, ranch dressing, vienna sausage, pigs feet, you name it I probably ate it. I saw extra fat on me already this morning, and although the whole starvation mode is a bad thing, I'm going to have a deficit of about 1800-2000 today (I had a bowl of oatmeal, going out for a little sushi now, but I also ran for half an hour). Anyone have any idea how that huge influx of food/ huge amount of missing food will affect my body? It's a pretty unique situation.

I disagree, I bet he'll gain a good half pound of fat off that, maybe more.
Just because you don't eat like that often doesn't mean you won't feel any effect at all, I guarantee it.
What you two suggested would mean that every couple weeks you could eat 10,000 calories per day and it wouldn't affect you at all? Yea right.

I didn't say he didn't gain any fat. I said that it's not as much as you would think. Your metabolism would increase and take care of a good chunk of it, sure he gained maybe a lil fat off that, but most of it is just water weight from the carbs.
Btw Amp..where you forced to eat this much?
Mind giving some details..just curious

Yeah it was this group effort to eat an incredible amount of food. I did throw up a few times and that got some of it out, but still consumed a few thousand calories. I cant say too much, it wasnt like it was forced down my throat, but all my brothers had to step up and eat all of this together. It was intense. And I ate f***in pigs feet.
sure it won't hurt you much, but you won't just **** out whatever you don't need. Your body will store a good deal of that as fat.
We dont know amps previous few days of diet that led up to his friendly eating binge nor his activity v calorie ratio (previously) to accurately determine if in fact he would gain fat tissue. If for example, if he had been eating over MT the days previous, and one includes this food binge, it IS possible to gain fat tissue.
To say he would gain, maintain, or lose, is not "entirely" accurate without his history.
In the end of things, knowledge within diet and fitness can eliminate alot of unnecessary pain. And one should embark on a personal mission to earn it, if one cannot afford a dietician and/or trainer (or just dont want the expense).
I have to agree with Sara. If I deficit for 8 to 9 days, and eat over MT about 1500c (as an example), I can feel and even look leaner the next day. I dont compensate, but just return to the normal deficit. Fat gained: zero. The body can be much more "tolerant" (and the reasons are OBVIOUS) to a reasonable surplus when the healthy person had a trend of a deficit leading up to suddenly eating over MT.
I eat over MT at prescribed intervals regularly. I think its logical that if one deficits (and depriving energy) for certain lengths of periods, the body will make use of the "extra" energy that its been deprived--in a useful and efficient manner, and not for storage, IF the extra calories ingested are reasonable and short, and does not create a different history than what it has been used to. (It's creating the different history that can be the problem: for example, severely deficiting for a time, and then suddenly creating a history of over eating for another length of period, and then one could gain fat tissue rather quickly).

Then everyone think it would be acceptable to go on a random binge ever 2 or 3 weeks...it's the same reason "cheat meals" are frowned upon in a strict diet, and I'm talkin a chicken parm. sandwich with a glass of milk, not pigs feet with mayonnaise and **** like that. He can obviously can keep it from being a "trend" and nothing catostrophic has happened, but you can bet your balls he gained fat....
I don't think anything you say can be taken seriously since your the one who thinks eating 1000 calories is the best way to get ripped.
I understand exactly where you are coming from and your point is well taken. There's no reason to worry about it, it won't slow him down too much.
But just for the record he DID go out and eat 10,000 calories.
" I'm in a frat, and last night I basically had to consume somewhere between 5000-8000 extra calories of the worst food ever."
2,000 for his maintance plus 8,000 = 10,000
Certain things work for me...there's no rule saying I cant voice my opinion and display my experiences. Why would I come here and waste my time saying things that DONT work for me? A good lot of you seem close-minded and believe only the mainstream facts about health and nutrition.
I wouldn't stress it. Hope you had fun.
Sometimes it's good to overeat. That "fatness" you feel is nothing more than you conscious getting to you. The "guilt" then the "mirror comparison" are fairly common for people who are conscious of their diet. This type of mentality is dangerous. You just be observant of what you eat. Waking up with something like, "Man, I sure ate a lot yesterday" then going about your day is better. Don't wake up saying, "Man, I'm going to eat only XXX calories today and going on an extra YYY at the ZZZ." Unrealistic and there's no reason to punish yourself.

amp just hit the gym hard and turn it all into muscle hehehe
think it like that

Well first of all, if anyone thought it was fun... it wasn't. Second of all, I definitely hear what you all are saying and agree with you. Honestly, I did put on some fat, that was unavoidable, none of you can really have a conception of what I ate, even if I did throw up. But I am making my body pay for it, with my workouts. Just got back from the gym and did a HIIT session where the intervals were 1 minute long sprinting at 11mph and then 1 min 45 sec recovery at 5.7 mph. I also have the belief that its easier to burn fat off if you just added it than if you had it for a while. It is just annoying because I have been doing really well with my workouts and my nutrition has been very good, this was just an unavoidable setback that sucks. But thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement!
If it was that easy to add fat back, then perhaps you should rethink about how much you're losing. Imagine, if you will, if you and your gal went to an all you can eat buffet and suddenly, you found out she has a wild desire to go in hot dog eating contests. By your standards, you would be a massive, gigantic person; think Eric Cartman when he merged with his trapper keeper.
Be realistic. There is no way you can add that much fat, no matter how much you ate. Just don't sweat it like that.

No, I said I believe that your metabolism and other factors will modify themselves so that you don't add 100 lbs of fat, but I do believe, and know that you will add some fat. All we talk about here is how if you eat over maintenance then you will add muscle and some fat. If you eat as much over as I did you will add fat... I think most would agree with this. I'm not sweating it, I'm working hard to reverse this change. Whether or not it was a big deal or not has nothing to do with the fact that it is something that got in the way of my goals, and now i am back on track and trying to erase that issue.
i know theres alot of posts regarding this topic but I hope you make it to this one. It depends on your body of how much is going to get stored as fat but i day isnt going to make that big of a difference. My point though is to tell you becareful of how much deficit you take because if slow your metabolism down for a week now that could make a difference I would recommend eat healthy the entire week and just do a couple extra days of cardio or a little more time and within a week you wont even notice a difference but probably be in better shape than you were before. From the trend Ive noticed it tends to be better to eat alittle more and burn a little more, than starve yourself
