    Yea we need more information. But that isn't that many calories. Have some pasta, burgers, noodles, ice cream

    what are you doing to get 50k steps? and 5'9 and 140 are you trying to lose weight? since this is the gaining weight section you need to eat those calories

    I'm a 36yo 5'5" (now) 140 lb female who slow bulked on 3k cals while averaging about 18k steps a day. Yes, you need to eat all those calories. I agree with @sardelsa. Go have a burger with fries and a beer... follow it up with an ice cream sundae.

    No way I could eat all of that lol

    If you can't hit your calorie goals.. you won't gain. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. This thread might help too

    You're only doing yourself a disservice, as you are clearly not sedentary. Liquid cals are your friend.

    Then yes, you need to eat them, as long as you think they are an accurate representation of your calories burnt?

    thats why I asked if you were trying to lose weight and since its the gaining weight section to eat those calories.

    For me, 50,000 steps are 21 miles. Wow!

    The one time I hit over 50k steps, I ran a half marathon and had a busy 8 hour day in a restaurant. I'm curious myself.

    A pint of Ben and Jerry's will get you a lot closer. Add on a sandwich and maybe a bag of chips or a protein shake and you're there.
