6500 cals a day

[pellius]

some major improvements here in 11 months


Anyone here manage to eat 6500 cals a day regularly?

Girl has some appetite...

What does she mean by "graft"?

[Van_Bilderass]

Just curious:  Victor Richards was once quoted that he only ate the alleged 30,000 calories once, over the course of a day I guess, eating "Nigerian food."

We all know it is bullshit (he probably ate a quarter of that), but what I want to know is simple:  what constitutes "Nigerian food"?  I know they are big on beans, rice and chicken, but do they add anything to spice things up?

Maybe 6 months ago I ate at a west African restaurant. Had some type of chicken stew and Fufu. My impression of the meal was that it tasted pretty bland, little spicing or salt. It was ok but bland.

I ate 4.5-5 K every day for a few months straight, it was fucked...

I was 240 at the time on 2 grams of steroids a week.

That's one of the main reasons I stopped trying to get any bigger, it got to the point the amount of food needed to gain was fucked. I needed a lot of carbs for whatever reason, just made things worse.

It's miserable eating like that all the time.

Rice, yams, dark meat chicken, goat, plantains, and the occasional shellfish (prawns / shrimp) make up what I see immigrants here asking for and eating. The first 4 things are the big sellers, never hear much about red meat. When I've tried some of it, I'd class it as middle of the road spicy.

I've gotten up to around #7000 calories a day once and a while, the flip side to that is the day or two after, I probably eat 1500 calories if I was lucky.

I think that happens with pretty much everyone, the digestive system just gets overloaded and simply cant process the food fast enough

I'm with you. I think it is much harder to force yourself to eat when you are not hungry than it is to diet. Whenever I tried to bulk I always felt nauseous and lethargic. And I most hated when I would often kind of "throw up" a little at night while sleeping and have to swallow my own vomit before I can get to the bathroom to brush my teeth and rinse my mouth. That's when I realized that part of being a pro bodybuilder, something that isn't really considered until you have to do it, is the ability to eat. Some guys really have a capacity to pack that food in. Not me. Right now I skate easily on two meals a day.

They do make products to aid digestion...

yeah as you say no one thinks about it until it gets to the point they have to actually start doing it.

it's all these type of things that make it not worth it.... The fucked sleep too, sleep apnea, once you get above a certain weight. I have woken choking on my own tongue when I was heavy, i dunno if it was the retention swelling the tongue or what. But it never happened when I was light.

[joswift]

and they still dont get through your system fast enough
it takes from 2-5 days for some foods to go from mouth to asshole

three days into 6000 calls 99.9% of people are stuffed

I tried carb cycling, I struggled getting in 400 gms carbs

Did they serve dirty water and flies as well?

I used to eat 4-5k calories a day, but it wasn't clean food.  When i was big into powerlifting i would eat as much as possible to gain weight.  After a heavy workout me and a couple other guys would go to Outback Steakhouse and eat so much it was retarded.  Based on what i knew about the menu, we were eating about 3-4k calories in a little over an hour.  Lots of garbage though and plenty of cheesecake.   I don't see how you can sustain that, it made you so sluggish for hours.  I was watching the strongman competitors on youtube try to eat 20-30k in one day, even Thor had problems doing it.

We only did this on weekends, during the week i doubt i ate more than 4k calories, but i ate lots of breads, cheese, a few gallons of milk per week, breakfast sandwiches, etc.  Hell i could eat 2 Freschetta frozen pizzas by myself, just not every day.  I don't think you can really clear 4-5k a day for extended periods of time unless you have a ridiculous metabolism.  I remember they said Phelps ate like 10k per day, but it was like pizza and stuff? 

I used to work with a guy who was one of the top Ironman competitors in Texas, he ate more than anyone i ever saw and he was lean as hell.  I would think he might have hit 5-6k a day; he'd eat 2-3 times more per meal than i did and he ate every 3-4 hours.  But he trained like 3 times a day, he swam every morning, jogged during lunch and would ride a stationary bike for hours after work.  We went to the same gym, when i got there he'd be on bike a good 30 minutes already, i'd lift weights for about a hour and when i left he'd still be on the bike, completely balls out full speed.  He was literally a machine, traveled all over the world to compete.

Today i eat very clean and might hit 2500 a day, but i'm just trying to stay in shape and be relatively lean.  When i want to cut a few pounds i just drop down to ~1800 and do cardio 3 days a week.

This chick simply upped the dosage and probably added calories to her diet, but i serious doubt someone her size could eat for than 5k a day for extended periods of time.

It's the same with the amount of sleep people claim to get, or not get.  A lot of people claim 3 or 4 hours a night but don't count weekends when they crash for 12 hours a day.

Most bodybuilders are completely over fed. The thing that matters the most is the hormones.

I also have trouble believing these stories, how can you train balls to the wall three times a day when you are stuffed with food all the time, how many shits did he have a day?

[Humble Narcissist]

Most are completely over hormoned as well.

[Henda]

They always claim an impossible number of calories knowing full well nobody can sustain it, usually goes hand in hand with natural claims so they can then say well if you Had ate the same you would have make gains without drugs too.

I never asked him that but i can if you want me to?

I can say 100% this is true, i sat 15 feet away from the guy for almost 5 years.  He'd eat 3-4 salmon fillets at a time for lunch with veggies and rice.  Probably weighes around 185 pounds.

Not that big at all, been one of the top Ironman competitors in Texas for 4-5 years.  He used to tell me his "short" weekend runs were 12-15 miles.

I think when you have spent your entire life training for triathlons and Ironmans, this might be possible.  Not sure, but the guy is 100% legit.  He's sit at his desk with a tens unit hooked up to him.

thats hardly a huge amount of calories if he ate like that 4/5 times a day

What's a "tens unit"?

A lot of athletes use them for pain management.  Very popular for Triathletes and such.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is the use of electric current produced by a device to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes. TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation although the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable stimulators used to reduce pain.[1] The unit is usually connected to the skin using two or more electrodes which are typically conductive gel pads. A typical battery-operated TENS unit is able to modulate pulse width, frequency and intensity. Generally TENS is applied at high frequency (>50 Hz) with an intensity below motor contraction (sensory intensity) or low frequency (<10 Hz) with an intensity that produces motor contraction.[2] While the use of TENS has proved effective in clinical studies, there is controversy over which conditions the device should be used to treat.

Fair enough.  I believe that he ate as much as he did.  I probably ate 3k calories a day back when i worked with him and he ate 2-3 times what i did easily and consumed 6 meals a day.  Maybe he didn't eat 5k a day like he said, but i believe he was pretty close.

6 meals a day and ate every 3-4 hours.

Did he wake up to eat?

His story is unravelling already

I also know people who eat 6 meals a day, they call two rice cakes and an apple a meal

[Explorerspl]

I did 5900-6500 every single day for 3 months.

Went from 185 to 205 lbs. About 60% clean/40% junk, 800-900g of carbs a day(didn't really aim for a certain amount), everything was weighed/measured and input into myfitness pal.

Was lifting heavy 4 times a week, walked 30-35,000 steps a day 5 days a week(12-15 hour shifts at a warehouse job building pallets.)

After a month or so Everytime I ate I'd start coughing and hacking.

Was taking ox bile,enzymes,probiotics,nexium,betaine HCL. Still had terrible acid reflux constantly, would just be walking around and have acid come up multiple times a day,tasted like puke.

Shit about 5-6 times a day,rarely solid, sometimes there was clear phlegm looking shit.

Ate 2k for breakfast, gym, 1k lunch, protein shake before work(made sure to have 35-4000 before work),small lunch at work so I wouldnt puke picking up boxes all day,then I'd sit for an hour when I got home forcing some chili or chicken then eat a muffin and sleep.

Only drank coke and milk,no water since it didn't have calories. Was drinking one to two 2 liters a day.
