Eating 5000 Calories: What Happens Next & How to Recover


Question
Hi, if I ate 5000 calories in one day, is it okay for me not to eat for a few days? I was in an eating contest and I feel sick like hell after eating so much.

Answer
5,000 calories in one day won't hurt you if you eat reasonably overall. It's not a good idea to stop eating to make up for it, but maybe cutting back for a couple days would help you feel better.

Remember, it takes consumption of 3,500 calories more than our body needs to make 1 lb of fat. Given that we generally need up to 2,000 calories per day to function, even eating 5,000 won't add a pound to you if done just once like you did.
