Shit, in my fat phases over the years I would eat in the neighborhood of 6000 calories a day (I would be literally gaining a pound a day since that’s 3500 calories over my normal daily intake). It’s easy to do when you can basically inhale a box of Little Debbie’s zebra cakes in one sitting. It never really occurred to me that I was literally risking immediate death from this behavior.

I had a patient who almost died from acute pancreatitis after eating 3 pounds of fudge in one sitting. So your pancreas may not stop you from buying or eating the cake, it can definitely stop you from doing it twice.

Well, a pound of fudge is a bit over 2k calories, so this guy was doing 6k calories in like an hour. The dangerous part was that like over half of those calories are from fat. So what you were doing prob wasn’t great , but not likely to cause acute pancreatitis.

Shit, I could eat a pound of bacon while standing at the stove frying a pound of bacon.

There was a semester in college where I basically lived off fried chicken, fried potatoes, and bismuth subsalicylate. I don’t ever want to live that way again.
