    EG

    140g protein = 560 calories
    56g fat = 504 calories

    So 4000-560-504= 2936 calories from carbs, which is 734g of carbs

    That's far too many carbs.

    If you really need to have 4000 calories, you'll have to up your fat.

    Why? When I was eating over 4000 a day I was eating around 600 a day and never had an issue.

    Just saying 600 is pretty far from 734

    About 4 weeks in a row on a bulk where I was eating around 4500 per day and yes it was a lot of food. Again, there was no issue so your picking nits here I would say.

    If you really want a good way to hit the goal fast just snack on peanuts (not fried)

    100 g = 567 cal, 16c 49f 26g

    And those are good fats. Also good protein.

    To follow on from this, Almonds are a great snack as well.

    There are shelled pistachios, and I prefer those because shelling, as you say, is rather an annoying task. LOL but that's #FirstWorldProblems! :lol:

    I used to eat almonds every day until I developed an intolerance. I got so nauseous I thought I was pregnant!
