i apologise in advance for being a number geek lol

so in a typical blow out binge i could easily eat a takeaway of
2 medium stuffed crust pizza - 12 x 360 calories per slice 4320 calories
2 portions of cheesy chips - 2 x 504 calories 1008 calories

so in one takeaway binge i would easily eat 5328 calories thats nearly 3 times the recommened daily amount and walking at a brisk pace on the treadmill burns about 470 calories so to burn that off i would need to walk for 11 and a half hours scary kinda puts me off falling and having a binge on that lol

another typical blow out would be
4 crusty rolls - 4x 194 calories 776 calories
a tub of cheese onion sandwich filler - 760 calories
large bag of walkers sensation crisps - 906 calories
a large bag of whisper bites - 720 calories
a large bag twirl bites - 880 calories
4 giant choc cookies - 4 x 314 calories - 1256 calories

so a total binge of 5298 calories which would take me 11. 2 hours to walk off

kinda puts my binging in perspective and by actually just writing it all down i have stopped myself caving in and ordering pizza lol !!!! yah

How much is a portion of Kraft cheesy pasta, my food shame? Xx

 

[sv1711]

kraft cheesy pasta is 365 calories for 162g prep so guessing thats half a dry packet made up so if you have a full packet thats 730 calories xx

It is very scary when you look at it like that, I'm a carb o holic so would comfort eat on crisps, chips, toast etc. Should really add up what I would normally get through xx

My biggest binge since being on CWP....was a large portion of nachos with cheese and sour cream, 2 double cheese burgers, 2 portions of chips, one large slice of blackforest cake with icecream, apple crumble and 3 large pitchers of cocktails. Now try working out the calories in that :/ tbh though i paid for it by gaining 7lbs but worked hard to get it off again thanks to being a little gym bunny these days lol x

Hundred off. Its so nice tough. I have been 100% so far but it's only the end of day 2!!

Yes - I had a night off a few weeks ago which involved a lot of wine, dinner and half a box of chocolates. I had only had 2 packs during the day. I calculated that i had devoured 4000 calories. Made me think how much I had been eating before. Often I had a whole packet of biscuits as a "snack" after lunch - the packet contained between 1000 and 1500 cals. I then had another "snack" before leaving work which usually involved crisps, chocolates etc. after dinner I had another "snack". God only knows how many calories I was eating then - best not to calculate!

Thank you for this thread! I don't think I've ever faced up to how many calories were in a binge session. You've really opened my eyes and put it in perspective xx
