This weekend was really bad for me 
In BYOB I ate about 6 burgers, a hotdog sandwich and seven or so small sausages. Then I got up around lunchtime Sunday and ended up eating a chinese buffet with the relatives. Needless to say, I ended up feeling a little bit guilty about eating so much.
Calorie Count:
460 (1 burger) x 6 = 2760
+ 350 (hotdog sandwich with toppings)
= 3110
The last time I counted my daily calorie consumption, it was around 2.8k, therefore I passed it by a lot. Not to mention the additional buffet lunch the next day, which would total 1k calories at least because of all the fat and oil in chinese food. An average person's calorie consumption is around 2.4k, btw.
To make up for it, I went to the gym yesterday and did 700 calories on the stationary bike (about 1 hour non-stop biking). I went back to the gym today and did more cardio but followed it up with intensive high rep weight training (around 700 calories total, if the run is added in). The gym session lasted about 2 hours with about 5 minutes worth of breaks.
Tomorrow I'm going to the gym again to do both cardio and weights on the muscles I didn't work out today. I expect to do about 800 calories. All this should just about break even with the BYOB intake.
I'm also doing this because I'm going wakeboarding in a few weeks D:
Question: Are you guys doing anything to make up for BYOB?
Speaking of which, I read that 5 minutes of intense exercise (top speed running, for example) a week will help prevent clogged arteries but it of course does not replace a good fitness regimen. Dieting will not help much (if at all) in getting rid of an unhealthy intake quickly though.
