Yes have to agree. It's generally the wine consumption at the weekend that bumps my calorie levels up plus eating out. Our local pub chain has started putting the cals for everything on the menu now - I wish they hadn't! Some of them (actually most) are absolutely jaw dropping.

When I cook at home, no portion of food exceeds 600 calories, 650 tops. And that is a big portion, the one that I will eat for lunch. Dinner will be lighter and less so I never exceed 1000 calories for both my main meals.
It's really a no-brainer, just sensible eating, IMO...

Everyone gives advice from their own experience. I eat close to 2000 cals on a feed day and lose weight but I'm 17stone and fairly active.
I think you know that to gain the way you have you must have been going well over on your feed days.
2000 cals a day would probably give you a slow loss. It's 11,000 cals over a week which isn't excessive.
But as has been said it's very very easy to go over if you are not careful. Fat, and sugar are horrendously high in cals and if you've been eating with abandon on 'feast' (feed) days that'll be where you're gaining.
I would say that you need to monitor your intake more closely, I know it's a drag, but to do it for a couple of weeks will give you valuable insight into what is a normal amount of food for you to maintain your weight so that the fast days count for something.
