    Yes, it sucks eating that much, expecially when you are trying to leep reasonable macros. 4,100 seems a bit excessive unless you weigh 200++ or are extraordinarily active.

    I have days where I'm eating 5000+ calories in a 4 hr window. Plus 1.25 gals of water through out the day. I'm not going to lie it gets tough, but drinking whole milk helps a lot.

    A large chocolate shake from Jack in the Box is 1400 cals. Couple that with a burger and fries and you are nearly at 3000. For lunch. Sad that I know this but back in the day, that was a regular part of my diet.

    There are still days where I wonder what I would do to have one of those shakes.

    I ate a lot of indomie noodles and chicken for snacks when I was bulking. Pretty high calorie, easy and cheap. Nom.

    I know from watching how hard it is. My husband went through this for a few months. He just couldn't keep going. I put butter in everything, bought high calorie strawberry boost drinks. He ate handfuls of nuts and potato chips daily. I think it might get easier if you stick with it over time, (just like it's easier for me to eat less if I keep at it for a while). Eventually you shouldn't then feel so full all the time. All I can offer is w2go! And keep at it.:flowerforyou:

    Tell me about it. I lose weight at 4000 Calories a day.

    Eating clean....yeah right, not gonna happen. I just eat fried everything. But, the upside is you can look like you diet (abs, shredded cuts, etc) even while eating a completely terrible diet :)

    Just wondering... Even though you are burning the calories, does eating fried food and the like effect your cholesterol levels or does the exercise take care of that too?

    I agree with Bita...I would have no problem eating 4100 calories a day.

    Don't forget, he will have a fairly high protein need to, so once that's met you are already pretty full, even if you are free to eat junk for the rest

    I have to do this to LOSE weight. I know this is a gaining weight topic but I couldn't help myself... LOL

    FYI I managed to hit 4k+ intake by eating a serving of almonds every hour. I would have regular meals, but no matter if I was hungry or not, I would eat those almonds. They are pretty easy to squeeze in, small volume with a decent caloric punch.

    Exercise will not "take care of that too" if you eat it exclusively. Cholesterol and triglycerides will skyrocket if you eat deep fried foods 24-7 for extended periods of time. If you are bulking, you'll stop eating this way after a period of time so it'll work itself out eventually but I think it's better to train your stomach up on wholesome foods rather than eat fried all the time.

    I'm a fat woman but I once got paired with a lean cyclist for a project in a health course. We had to get our levels checked. He biked routinely 15-20 miles a day (at least), but ate fast food almost exclusively. I was more sedentary, but ate more natural foods, salads, greens and cheeses, etc. His triglycerides were almost 3x's mine. He was dumbfounded, he assumed that because I weighed over 2x him that I would automatically have worse numbers, but he was wrong!

    Im 41 years old, 6'1" hovering around 200-204. I was 130 pounds when I started 12 years ago. Im maintain a 3500 calorie a day diet but often go over 4000 because Im very active with a high metabolism(women hate me for that lol). I take a mass gainer shake half mid morning and half evening. It definitely helps with my caloric intake. Keep pushin... u wanna get big you gotta eat big.

    I thought triglycerides aren't stored and they are used as an energy source... high cholesterol foods like eggs have proven not to increase cholesterol in the body... I'm not advocating high fat diets, but I eat 4 eggs a day which puts me over on my cholesterol... pretty healthy. I think what you really meant to talk about are trans fats... those are no good.
