How many calories do you think you could eat in one day without big problems?

1200 calories for me personally without getting fat. I'm not as active as I could be.

I have no idea. I've never counted by calories in my life, and I've never had a really excessive amount of calories that I can remember. Also I lack medical knowledge to know what the likely medical effects of having an extreme amount of calories would be.

Honestly? I am a bottomless pit. Because of this, My weight can yo-yo like crazy. True story- I gained 40 lbs in 1.5 months a few years back by consuming excessive amounts of daily calories. Another true story- I lost a lot of weight during the pandemic .. and started to feel comfortable. Before I knew it, I had gained back 15 lbs in 3 weeks … have been trying to lose those for the past few months. I have 8 more to go 😭

When I played football it was easily 5 or 6,000 , I barely count anymore but I think I probably could still do that now, if not more

I don't think I have a problem eating 3x the amount of normal food but I'll feel sick afterwards.
anything fortified, supplemental or unusual will whack my body I imagine.

Maybe like 9000 calories as a proper 'cheat day'... id likely feel grim for a few days following though.

Idk, I've stopped counting calories and instead look at nutritional values. 😞not going to lie, 😥I miss certain "junk foods"

Willy: Dein Essen wird reduziert auf 1200 Kalorien am Tag.
Alf: Null Problemo. Nur mal aus reiner Neugier. Wie viele Kalorien sind in einem Doppelten Cheeseburger, einer Cola und einem Schoko Shake, so 11,12?
Willy: Ich schätze so circa. 2100.
Alf: Da sitz ich schön in der Tinte. Die Diät beginnt Morgen. (I am Alf you see.)
