So I think most of us know that when you binge eat the body does not always store every extra calorie that you ingest as fat. Once you eat beyond a certain point the body starts wasting a certain portion of the extra calories.

I know this is true because of the fact that these feast/famine style diets actually do produce results. I put the quote from Alan Aragon in my signature because I thought it was hilarious, he was responding to someone talking about the Warrior diet where you don't eat all day and feast at night. Well, I was intrigued by this diet and I tried it out. I guarantee you I would put down at least 5000 if not 6k or 7k calories for my nightly feast. I lost weight!

Just this past week I ate like an absolute idiot. I couldn't train and was kind of burnt out on training and being strict on the diet as well and let myself do whatever I wanted. For the 7 day period I guarantee you I ate at least 14,000 extra calories, if not more. That should result in a 4 lb fat gain but I'd say I doubt I even gained 2 lbs. of actual fat.

Has anyone read a good article that can further explain this or quantify it with any sort of formula as to what the threshold of an normal metabolism is.. at what point the body just starts dumping calories or becomes unable to store all the calories, at what percentage, in what time frame... etc.
