It is 3:37 AM right now.

I want to go to sleep, but I still have another 1000 calories to eat.

What should I do? :(

    The term nut butter ALWAYS makes me giggle like a moron.

    yeah I ate some ice cream, I had to eat like 5 cups to hit the rest of the 1000 calories and 200 carbs left though.

    I know eating ice cream isn't hard, but it is hard when you have to eat 5 cups and you're already full.

    Can't you just go to bed and have an extra 1000k to eat when you wake up?

    I know this may blow your mind, but its already tomorrow, so who cares if you eat them at 3:37 am or at 3:37 pm on the SAME DAY.

    You need to plan your day better so you aren't force feeding yourself in the middle of the night...

    And because I'm up so late eating, I tend to wake up late. Thus, the vicious cycle repeats itself.

    Start eating during daytime hours. Voila! Basically it doesn't matter when you eat, but if you're trying to eat 3000 calories and can't do it in one or two sittings, something needs to change. Start snacking more if big meals aren't working for you. All it takes to change your eating habits is to...change your eating habits. But you have to come up with a plan and then do it.

    I'm like never awake during the daytime though! It's really sad! Yesterday, after I finished eating the ice cream, it was like 5 AM, and I ended up sleeping till 5 PM. So.... even if I start stuffing myself silly right when I wake up (which I can't because my stomach is digesting food all night while I sleep so when I wake up, I'm not even hungry)!

    I timed myself, and it takes me an average of about 12 hours to eat 3000 calories. If anything is ridiculous, that is. I've tried soo many things. Protein / weight gainer shakes, ice cream, peanut butter, smoothies, milk. It still takes me a really long time to eat! My body just doesn't like to eat, although this entire summer I've been forcing it to. I feel like death some days. I mean, I wake up, and all I think about is how much I have to eat today, and it really is a burden.

    I just want you guys to understand what I'm going through. The people who just call me ridiculous don't know what I'm going through.

    This is probably the best idea so far. But 4000 calories a day is just too much for me. Very rarely will I have a day that is that intense. Plus, if it takes me 12 hours to eat 3000 calories, it's probably going to take me like 16 hours to eat 4000 calories, meaning that I will be up late again that night, and then the cycle just repeats itself over and over.
