    If you go into a 300 cal deficit every day and then have one brutal cheat day where you eat a whole extra menu at a fast food restaurant that could be about 3000 cal, which will set you back 10 days.

        Yea but that would be a pretty insane cheat day, 3k over maintenance. Very normal for the average fitizen though.

          Extremely easy to eat 3k + with processed carbs. Plenty of foods that take like 3 bites to finish that contain 450 calories.

        You need at least a 500 calorie deficit on a weekly basis to lose 1 lbd. Average male uses around 2500 calories a day. Change that somehow.

        Yes. You should be counting calories on a weekly or bi-weekly chart, not daily. Add up your total calories for the week, disregard days. It makes it easier to rebound from 'mistakes' and also helps put into perspective how devastating cheat days are.

        How exactly is this lying? If you go 3k over maintenance you consume all the calories that you lost over 10 days doing a 300 calorie deficit

            It's not. If you weigh 90KG then 2000 cal is not gonna make much of a dent. Besides 3500 cal is not even a quarter KG. Bro you need to math

    It all depends on how many calories over the chest was and what your deficit is.

    d = 1 + Ce/Cd, Ce>=0
    where d is days, Ce is excess calories you ate and Cd is your daily deficit

    Bump. I'm looking at thanksgiving feasting and know i have approximately 17k calories surplus to consume ahead, wondering if i should break it up over the course of a few days or do one day with everything to minimize fat gain.

    Your body doesn't process all the calories. If I decide to eat 10,000 calories my body isn't going to use all the energy it's going to shit out a lot.

    Physically? Negligible.

    Psychologically, maybe a week to get back fully again.

      Bro 15k calories in a day negligible? I'm sure you don't absorb ALL but is there not at least a couple pounds of fat that gets stored? a pound is only 3500 calories
