Okay, I'm a fitness model, I do this shit for part of my living.
First though.
Lemme tell ya hon, most people? Couldn't count dietary macros if their lives depended on it.
(Unfortunately, I'm not really kidding about the lives-- at least 30,000 diabetic shock ER cases per year happen because people cannot do arithmetic.)
I've done some boot camp things for aspiring models. We had them "track" calories/macros/etc, while we were also doing the actual math.
Result?
For girls who said they were eating 1250 kcal/day... the AVERAGE *actual* figure was 1773 kcal/day.
Um.
Ok.
Now that we got that out of the way.
Two things babes.
#1:
The answer is no, you will be fine.
In fact, "You will be fine" is the WORST possible outcome. No typo.
***IF*** we give you the benefit of the doubt about calories (which is highly suspect--see above), then you NEED some 'binge days' like this. Otherwise your progress will grind to a halt, and perhaps into reverse.
Really, you NEED binge days, or at least binge meals. You need them.
This is not a small thing. It's a big thing. It's the only thing that keeps me in fitness modeling.
The human body is awesome-- it responds best to 80-85% "healthy" stuff and 15-20% dirty junky junk dirt crap. It actively hates perfectionists. This is why I'm in this sport, and into fitness in general. Because fuck perfection.
Deep dish once a week keeps me and hubby ripped. HOW COOL IS THAT.
Also, 3000kcal is hardly a bacchanalia. Girl I'm not even telling you how many calories I throw down after a show...
#2:
How are you counting kcals?
This is mostly just me prying / trying to be helpful. Since the answer to #1 is already the answer to #1.
nothing. you'll be just fine. your body doesn't add anything to your weight, especially if you're diet is regularly controlled (<1200 a day is very UNHEALTHY. someone in your age range should be at app 2000 a day) you have nothing to worry about. calories don't have as big of an impact on weight as everyone thinks. it's more about what is causing the caloric value to elevate, using through fats. you'll be fine.
You should be fine. You could gain about 1 pound, perhaps not even that much (gaining weight is much more difficult than you think unless your body naturally tends to put on mass) but even if you did your weight would go all the way down again as soon as you started eating normally again
I eat and don't gain weight. I had a 12 oz beer, huge milkshake, bacon egg cheeseburger, and side salad all in one sitting I had to undo my pants and I was stuffed! 2 hours later I was snacking and drinking again lol

You won't gain much fat if any at all. If you notice an increase on the scale it's gonna be water retention. Don't worry about it, it will go back to normal after a few days on your normal diet.
You should be fine for one day. I always felt like your body operates on a weekly or monthly schedule rather than a daily schedule.
omg give yourself a rest lol eat!
