Kirstie Alley ate 28,000 calories per day?

This has to be a typo, or an extreme exaggeration:

"I had a holiday mentality," Alley, 55, told Life magazine this week. "I ate with wild abandon. Twenty-six, seven, eight thousand calories a day."

Ab fab Kirstie Alley gets last laugh after 75-pound loss, telling Life magazine she ballooned up to 220 by chowing down on 28,000 calories a day.

gotta be a typo, even if her maintenance was 2,500 cals which is was prolly a little lower... she would be gaining 7.2lbs a day on 28,000 calories.

I know....ROFL. Wouldn't your liver just explode if you ate that much in a day?

LoL, not to mention she probably weighed around 145 before, wasnt too thin to begin with. And at 28,000/day 2,500 maintenance cals, with 7.2lb gain/day, she would have only been eating this for 10 days to get to 220lbs.... so a little over a week, lol.....

I just read the article and i think they must have fixed it...it says Kirstie ate 8,000 calories a day which, although that is an unbelievale amount, is more fathomable than 28,000 haha

Those cals in that crap food sure adds up quick. Even if she ate big mac, large fry, large drink & dessert 3 x a day she would be at 5200-5300 cals. Can you imagine eating that 3 x a day though? Here's a tool to play with if you ever wanna find out macros for McD's lol

Another way to look at it is take Chubby Hubby, Ben & Jerry's...
Serving Size: 1/2 cup
Amount Per Serving:
Calories 330

Good lawd, I can easily eat 2 cups of icecream and that would put you at 1320 alone JUST for that.

I don't think the 20K range is accurate but dang 6,7,8K looks more possible as you look at the source of what exactly you are ingesting.

I didn't read the article but Im happy for her progress.

If she was bulimic - easy number to reach. Eat it all, puke it up, eat again.
