I honestly don't understand it myself but only because other people (to me) eat way too little. For me, 2,200 calories would be what I eat by 9am. This will not fill me at all. Then at around 10am I eat another meal... it's usually something such as a 10oz piece of meat, another whole potato and a whole avocado. I'll still be really hungry after that and generally have some crackers, 2-3 bananas and some almond butter. Then lunch is around 12-1pm and that's usually a huge piece of fatty meat with veggies and carbs. My carbs are stuff like potatoes, fruit, etc. I also do a lot of fat just to make sure I stay satiated. So my fat grams will be around 300g per day.
How would a person be full with 2200 calories? Isn't that just one meal's worth??
I am so curious what you would eat to get 2200 calories by 9 am. I'm not even being snarky, I just wonder what that would be....
Lets see.... 3 egg omelet with bacon and cheese and onions, 1 Liter Grapefruit Juice, .5 liter coffee flavored sugar syrup. 4 slices toast with butter and cheese. Should get you pretty close. And I haven't even had my hash browns, large, scattered, smothered, and covered. with a side of gravy
Uh huh. All this plus any other meals and no working out at all, sitting behind a desk all day and totally healthy.

I know, right? I have 12,000 calories in my morning coffee, and I have robots lift it for me so I don't waste any energy.10 -

That's Bulletproof taken to a whole new level. I can't believe they haven't thought of including robots in their advertising.1 -

And I certainly wouldn't eat that way anymore... at least not every day.

I just can't seem to fathom this is realistic. No cardio and 5-8000 calories a day and not gain a pound? Would love to see your food journal for a week straight. I had to google about anybody eating 8,000 calories a day and every website I looked at including bodybuilding websites, says if you eat 8,000 calories a day, you will gain weight unless you're burning a crap load of calories with cardio. Bradley Cooper ate 8,000 calories a day for a month to put 40 pounds on for the movie American Sniper. I just can't believe this is real especially no cardio and not gain a pound, but now the question is how much money does she spend a week on groceries?0 -

Geez and I thought Cole from survivor was full of crap. I just can't seem to fathom this is realistic. No cardio and 5-8000 calories a day and not gain a pound? Would love to see your food journal for a week straight. Is it possible her metabolism is that good? Maybe it's possible but now the question is how much money does she spend a week on groceries?
I was just fantasizing about what I could eat if I had 8000 calories a day to work with.
I could eat 32 Snickers.
Livin' the dream.
30 jelly donuts from Dunkin. Ah yiss!1 -

An entire chocolate cake (I've built mine in the recipe builder and it is 6228 calories) plus milk to wash it down and I'd still have calories leftover.1 -

Thanks, but I know who I was responding to. I was simply taking the idea of the breakfast posted and applying it to the original sedentary furnace of caloric destruction!
Maybe that 6k a day person is a shrew.....

Welcome the the dietary equivalent of alternative facts!6 -
I may have missed it but I don't recall Mrs 6000 calories a day saying she was losing weight... I CAN eat that many in a day but I damn sure wouldn't lose weight!2

Do you have some kind of underlying medical condition that accounts for this? Maybe that would be an important bit of information to share. I am confused, because, on one hand, you seem to understand that this is not normal, but at the same time you appear to be perplexed that not everybody can eat this way.3 -

I fluctuate in between 107-111 and my maintenance, with working out for about 45 minutes four days a week, is 1700 cals. I would 100% gain weight if I ate 6000 calories/day.
But, I'm nowhere near active enough to see if it would be possible for me to eat that and not gain weight.
I totally agree with you as I'm the same as yourself. I usually eat 1800-2000 a day and do a 10k run about 5 days a week which burns about 700 calories to stay at about 175 pounds. If I ate 6-8000 calories a day and did no cardio, I would gain a ton of weight and I think so would everyone else. Still waiting to hear back from her and show us her food journal for a week. Still don't buy it.0 -

This doesn't seem plausible to me. I am about 115 pounds, work an office job, do cardio once a day, and maintain on about 2,000-2,200 calories. Either something is off with how you measure your intake or something is off in how you're determining your activity.
Unless she bikes 10+ 100+ miles each way to work as her commute, there's absolutely no way.
Or her "once a day cardio" is a 3 hour 15 mile run.
Haha fixed it for you
I weigh 110 lbs, and ride regularly. Even going full speed uphill for 20 miles I wouldn't burn more than 250 - 300 cals.

yup - my flat course half-ironman (56miles/3.5hrs) was just a tad over 1000cal (per my garmin)0
