    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.

      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.
