1) Wait until you can move
2) Move

lol, thanks but tips for tomorrow, perhaps?, usually for breakfast i have oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder, is that alright or filling up on too many carbs?

I have an issue with binging myself. Keep progresso soup nearby, so when you want to binge you can eat 3-4 cans of soup at 120 calories each; it helps with the ruined calories.

Just treat it as a mistake and move on.

Yeah - I think it will be fine, especially if it gives you more energy. I wouldn't worry too much about carbs, and more about calories/protein/fat needs. See the stickies in this and the Nutrition section for some more good info.

The best thing to do with binges is not to dwell on them or let them tornado into bad habits again. Just put it behind you and focus on your goals

Once you're better maybe do some extra cardio to punish yourself (that may help motivate you to not binge again in the future).

Fast for 24 hours and move on. It's that simple.

Eat your usual macros/calories and move on! 2-3 days won't hurt you much in the long run and most of the weight gain is water retention from increased sodium and carbs.

I wanna just call it a refeed day?

I hope you do realize that your one hour walk will probably burn about 1-2% of your 9k binge? Just saying, brah

Advice: don't binge again and go on

Most people don't need re-feed days: I used to call my cheat days re-feed days and was spinning my wheels for months. Re-feed is much more structured, mostly carb meals for guys who are in single digit BF %.

yeah ik, I walked for an hour last night, an hour this morning, did 30 mins of weights, 20 minutes of HIIT cardio and 6 minutes of some other cardio workout, then walked another hour and planning on it again tonight, hopefully it burns off most at least

That was meant to be a joke. The whole theme of this thread is light heart-ed and joking.

Then there is yourself, serious Sally.

If all you gained was 2-3lbs after the binge, then that is most likely water weight....just move on man and get back to your plan. Your lucky that is all you gained, if I were to binge on that amount I would gain 10lbs of water weight and it would take me 1.5 weeks of hard cutting to get rid of it!

9,000 calories over 2 days is nothing. Or 9,000 calories each day? Either way, not a big deal. What did you eat? Last Friday I had about 8,000 calories: Large sweet pig pizza, 2 giant chicken stuffed baked potatoes, 2 rootbeers from BJ's, 2 orders of PF Chang's Kung Pao chicken and an order of their chicken fried rice and some various other little snacks. Within 24 hours I was back to normal weight.... Moral of the story, it's not a big deal especially if you're in a consistent deficit. I've found that the math only works out if you consistently eat like a fatass. Once every 10-15 days works just fine as long as you're strict the rest of the time.

On Tuesday night I was having pizza cravings but the shops were closed so I had about 9 slices of bread, a glucerma shake, an entire package of cheese, about 4 swiss cheese squares, 2 raisin muffins, a glass of milk, a can of garbanzo beans, a bag of nuts and raisins. A can of evaporated milk and a can of vienna sausages also

The day after that I chose to resume my regular deficit, I got bored midday and kept thinking about the pizza, So I went out, got 2 slices of BBQ chicken pizza, a whole box of peppridge farm chocolate cookies, a hot chocolate, yogurt almonds. Then after that I was gonna try to walk it off and got to work, It was my managers birthday So I had about 3 servings of her cake, Then after that I went to the spanish restaurant and had yellow rice, beans, and rotisserie chicken with potatoes, came home and had an apple, a glass of milk, then a pastrami sandwich until I couldnt move.

That's not called a binge: it is called eating disorder.

Can't tell if you were joking and rather not take a chance of spreading ignorance

Calling a cheat day a refeed day doesn't make it so.

Yep, that was my point.

Get over the past mistake (the binge), wake up tomorrow and start fresh.
