As part of my alternate day eating experiement, yesterday I tried to  
eat twice as much food as I normally would, in order to stock up for  
today.

Never.

Ever.

Again.

I got through a piece of belly pork and two racks of lamb ribs before  
I started feeling really, really full.  Then I had some swede mashed  
with about 100g of beef dripping, and I was about fit to explode.   
They I started on a leg of lamb, and barely got 1/4 of the way in  
before I started feeling sick.

Clearly if I am going to eat on alternate days I'm NOT going to eat as  
much overall, and I won't try to do it all in one meal.  I'll probably  
try and split it so I eat something soon after going the gym, and then  
again later in the evening.  But I doubt even splitting it I could eat  
two full meals ("full" = 100% daily calories) a day.

Today I intended to eat nothing but veg, but I had about 100g of  
pistachios, cashews and almonds, so I probably ate about 8-900  
calories in total.  But I feel full now, probably from over-eating  
yesterday.
