will i still gain weight from one day or a weekend of bingeing? Topic

from monday-friday i eat roughly around 1400-1500 calories (in a calorie deficit) but in the weekends, mainly saturdays, i tend to binge and i call it a “cheat day” and i eat over 1000 calories more!! i don’t know if it will affect my weight in the longtime, but tomorrow i’m also going to be eating in a restaurant and i’m worried i might gain weight☹️.

You have to eat 3000 calories over what u already eat in a day to gain 1 lb of fat. You will be ok! 1400-1500 sounds low, and could shock your metabolism. You should go a little bit higher!!

Hi Nickiminaj-
I am sorry to hear you are still struggling. Do your parents know you are concerned about eating differently on the weekends vs. during the week? How did your doctor's appt go to discuss your overall health?

I'd suggest talking with your folks and together developing a plan for eating on the weekends. And make sure to still get outside, even on the weekends for those walks. You've got this! Joanna (MyNetDiary Dietitian)
