not soog good calories better than none at all...?

[Joe Stenson]

I'm also under the impression that you may be overestimating the amount that you're eating

This is usually the case when someone claims to be eating upwards of that many cals, especially when he's supposedly eating clean.

However, to the people telling him how many cals he "should be" eating, remember that everyone has different metabolisms and activity levels. And while I don't believe he needs 10K cals to grow, it's not impossible that he needs more than you might think.

I cut on 7000 calories a day, so I don't see the issue here of anyone acting surpised he eats 10,000. I can't believe any of you get anything from your cycle son 5000 or so.

Holy $#@%, BBF back from the dead!

2 things to point out though:

1) You're bigger than a good portion of the guys on here, so it makes sense that your caloric needs are going to be greater.

2) When all's said and done it really comes down to metabolism. Some of us aren't blessed with particularly speedy ones; I'd be surprised if I ever needed to eat more than 5K cals on a bulk, no matter how big I get.

How much are you weighing in at though? and i'm not in any way saying that this isn't the case... but in my experience the number of calories people say they are taking in is more than they actually are if they can't gain weight...

thank you someone out there like me!!! there are those few people out there whose metabolism are really that fast, ill post me diet if you really want, but to bodybyfinaplix- the one know how bad it sucks to have to take in 9-10,000 cals to really grow, do u eat the pizza or sub from subway occasionally to meet your caloric needs?

Yeah, post up your diet.

BBF has posted a sample diet in the past. He eats a TON of fat (like 500-600g/day...good fats though). I'm sure his diet will be drastically different than yours as he's pretty much the only one I've ever seen eat like this. I like it though. I eat higher fat than most people, and I have to keep telling people it's not fat that makes you fat.

6 eggs whites 1 yolk
2 pieces of whole wheat toast
fat free yogurt
4 glasses 8 oz glasses of milk


2 penute butter sandwhiches on wheat
water
strawberries

1/2 chicken breast boneless skinless 97% fat free
water
strawberries

protein shake
peanut butter sand. on wheat

dinner-always varies, but it always has 3 blananced carbs,protein, and vegetables
milk

1/2 lb of chicken
strawberries
water


same as first meal


ill throw in protein shakes through out the day whenever im hungy, all i drink is water and milk. 1% milk. also through out the day ill drink a glass of milk, although in summer i try to stick to water cause milk and the warm weather bothers me sometimes.


thats what i eat everyday no matter what but i often add in snacks like a sub from subway, or a few slices of pizza from my fav local italian resturant cause eggs and chicken get boring and i need something that taste good to keepp me sane

Are your protein shakes weight gainer shakes or something?

 

[Joe Stenson]

Surprise, surprise. That's nowhere near 10000 calories.

What the hell are you eating egg WHITES for when you're complaining about not being able to put on mass?

The fact that you call a meal "balanced" when it consists of protein, carbs, and vegetables is part of your problem. FAT is a macronutrient as well. When you're needing to boost cals, extra fat is the easiest way to do it.

what i posted was my base, around that i drink a lot of weight gainer protein shakes, and i often have a sub from subway or a few chessburgers.sometimes ill throw peanut butter on my toast. and i often eat yogurts periodically through out the day. my average day is around 9,000 cals although id like to get it up a little higher

i sticck to the white because i dont want to have a heart attack by having my ldl cholesterol raised already by the juice and then furthered by the fact im eating 14 egg yolks a day.

if that thinking is wrong and if i can have a few more yolks a day then let me know cause itd make the eggs taste a lot better. my protein shake has 600 cals so when u drink 4 of those a day thats a signifigant amount of calories as opposed to someone who drinks Optimum nutrtion protein shakes
