I'm just here for the peanut butter orgy
Have done multiple times. What I like to do is eat about half the jar and then put some cinnamon and maple syrup in there for the rest.
OP: you have had many suggestions and dismissed all of them. Good luck with your endeavours.
P.S <<< profile pic is approximately 5000 cals eaten in 6m30s.0 -

Do you drink coffee? You could try bulletproof coffee (add coconut oil and unsalted grass-fed butter (Kerrygold))
If you have a small appetite, then I would suggest getting more calories from liquids. Try sports/recovery/protein drinks0 -
UGH why can't I be you OP0

Are you sleeping / resting enough? Do each of your muscle parties get at least 48-72h of rest? Sleep at least 7-8h!
Do not.... never underestimate those 2 things!0 -

Well if you're already eating all day...
Set an alarm for the middle of the night. Wake. Eat plate of lasagna. Back to bed.
(heck, why not? Pregnant women taking insulin for GD have to wake to eat in the middle of the night, why shouldn't a highly motivated bulker?)
Also, be patient.
good luck!
(Wish I had your problem for a week. specifically the week between Christmas and New Years!

OP seems to have figured it out. 6,100 calories yesterday, 7, 092 today. Carbs seem to be doing the trick, continue on.0

Yep high GI carbs like ribena, biscuits and maltodextrin have made it much easier. Lowering fibre and fat have made me feel less full all the time. Problem solved as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for suggestions they have been helpful.

Fats are your friend. 9 cals per gram so you don't have to eat a lot. coconut oil, olive oil, butter, peanut butter. That's how I would do it if I had your problem. You can make it very healthy with good choices and grass fed sources0 -

i think you seem to be missing the point of bulking.
And the knowledge that BMI is an awful indicator of health, especially for those who are tal and have a lot of muscle..
OP, props. I nearly died trying to eat 3000 calories every day. With B&J's and Ensure.0 -

LOL.
You mean obeast, not obese right?
And this isn't even that good of an example.
*insert multiple images of bodybuilders, powerlifters, and other various athletes with lower body fat percentages and weight 220+ lbs...*

100kg? 220lbs? That's practically lightweight by some standards. Have fun being a manlet.0 -

Well, make no mistake, 6000+ calories a day every day is no small feat. Anyone on the planet is going to struggle with this.
Give me a potluck full of casseroles, fried things and pie and I could knock that back in half an hour easy....with barely any food baby and I'm only 135. lol

Please, people, use your brain a bit, 6000 calories is far beyond crazy and you suggest to eat more, using the plain and absurd logic of "eat until you gain". There is obviously something wrong with this guy because 6000 calories would make anyone on his weight get incredibly fat.
Besides a faster metabolism you are more than likely to suffer from digestive issues, malabsorption of nutrients or any autoimmune disease.
If you have gastrointestinal complains such as gas, bloating, cramping or whatever, which is the most common reason, you are just basically not absorbing the food. Considering your age you may have some GI problems that could be asymptomatic, which sucks a little bit.
Conditions like SIBO, gut dysbiosis or Candida overgrowth are very common and can remain undiagnosed for years yet still cause you problems.0 -

So what happens to all the ingested calories then?0 -
The body simply cannot transform the energy to optimally carry out its functions. This is why a lot of people with celiac disease and some other digestive issues are at a low weight for height. I've seen people on here with Chron's disease that have mentioned weight loss as a result of their condition. However, if the OP is really having a hard time absorbing calories, I would suspect he would be noticing digestive issues.0
-
yes, GI disease could be a factor so it would be a good idea to get that checked.
I just remembered an article by Brandon Lilly on bulking. He said he used to have a big peanut butter/banana shake premade before bed, when he woke up to go to the toilet, he'd drink that. Boom, extra 1000 cals for the day.0 -

If he had a serious condition causing such as those causing malnutrition, I don't think he would be carrying on lifting six times a week and progressing as he has mentioned. I had plenty of gas eating 4k calories a day. I'm pretty sure I could find foods that give me gas eating 1000 calories a day.
Physical job + active workout schedule = lots of calories. Michael Phelps ate upwards of 12,000 calories during training, why is 6,000 so hard to believe?0 -
Eat more.0

My goal is to get to around 100kg.
Any ideas why I might not be gaining any weight?
Per Jonathan Bailor's The Calorie Myth my guess you are a healthy person and your brain is working hard to keep you from going above/below your biological weight set point.
Weight control by our brain seems to be influenced by some of our 50 hormones we are learning today. This is why most all people will stop gaining weight at some level even if they keep overeating. Seldom do you see a 1500 pound person.
Now about 40 years ago it was thought our weight was controlled by the calories we eat but today we it is not that simple. Keep in mind some people are still stuck with the old data and will tell you that you just are not eating enough calories.
