how many cals do you eat in a day?

[JKurz1]

Was bulking at 6000 reaching 291 lbs. Took sick for a week +. Yesterday I totaled 5200. Decided not to force feed myself anymore. Still don't know how much weight I lost. Will start lifting again Friday.

Thats a freaking ton of cals but if you are close to 300lb, then I guess it's what you need.....still think it's a tad much.

I currently take in just under 2900 cals and I'm bulking........many people at wayy too many cals for their bodytype....

3 egg omlette , plus bread plus cream chease milk- 500-600cals

What were your stats before you started lifting and what are they now? Curious to know why you think most people eat way too much. Some people need more food than others just like some people overtrain easily and can't spend 6 days a week in the gym.This is about individuals with different needs who take the time to find out exactly what it is they need for their bodies to grow.

It ranges from 2700-4500 depending on what phase I am in. I am starting to get the impression a lot of people don't cycle their calories and I can't for the life of me imagine how you would make much progress without doing that.

Let's hear some more info. on this.
Are you referring to cycling cals. depending on whether or not you're cutting and bulking or just to shock the system a little bit?
