Wow, those are some interesting answers.
Ladybelle, the "exploding" concept was great. What a visual image that conjured up! (I tried not to visualize the "flushing" or "sick" concepts....)
Jac, Been there, done that with the BED - I've found that the right mix of low-carbs and supplements prevents bingeing - I don't have binges if I take the L-glutamine, L-carnitine, and chromium supplements recommended in DANDR. My past binges would involve 2-4 days of eating large portions of foods (mostly junk or seasonal items like bing cherries) until I was in pain. I'd do that every few weeks. I never counted the calories though - maybe I ought to figure out how many extra I would consume. Might surprise me. But seriously, if you're suffering from BED, check into the supplements that are supposed to help curb hunger/carb cravings. They worked for me, and I have not binged while taking them.
CC - I like your logical approach. Assuming that the extra 7000 cal were typical "junk" food the first set of numbers would most likely apply. It almost seems that gaining 1.7 lbs of actual fat-deposit weight, plus the associated water weight, per day would be difficult to do, even if one could eat that much extra food without pain or illness. Fourteen (or more) pounds in a week - ouch, my skin hurts just thinking about all the stretching.
Thanks, guys, for the answers.
Joan
