As a lic. nutritionist I don't think its a good idea for people to go out and start eating things loaded with sugar and want to be a bodybuilder. Which this thread is about. Unless you are a lic. nutritionist as well and have a better opinion.
Congratulations!! Well done in going from having no qualifications in nutrition just last week to being a licenced nutririonalist this week!! That's got to be a record!

YES! Eating 5000 calories per day of CLEAN food is attainable but takes a lot of work and focus. When you need to eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours per day it can be a cahllenge. For those people who are trying to put on muscle and mass eating 5k calories per day of CLEAN foods is something you might need to do. Depending upon your current stature and your goals you may just need to consume this many calories per day to build size and muscle.
My food is clean, especially my fruits and vegetables that I am careful to wash well before consumption. I suspect the rest of my foods are washed prior to packaging.
Your information about food type and meal timing is not correct. If I ate that much food each day, clean or dirty, I would be about 2800 over my TDEE, which would have been gaining that weight pretty darned fast! I would be Ms. Balloon!!!
Also, there is nothing wrong with sugar, especially in moderation.
