Sport How can I possibly eat this much?

Sport Fitness
I have read in some places that some people (who are bulking) eat up to 6000 calories a day!

How the heck do they do this?

I sometimes struggle to have 3000 calories a day!

Is there a secret to this?

What foods are there that are super high in calories?
 
Dont work you dont need to eat that much. Thats for the Pro athletes.
use the calorie calculator to work out how much you should be eatting.
 
I agree. You'd have to be burning tons of calories during the day for that kind of intake to NOT end up as fat. The best way to gain is slow and steady. Find an online calorie calculator so you can determine about how much you need to maintain, then add 500 calories on top to gain. Slow and steady does it...
 
people that need 6000 calories are:

1. veteran lifters...10 years of bodybuilding experience that led up to the need for so much food.
2. on steroids. yes, its true! and HGH too, which demands calories lest it make your body consume itself.
 
Yeah, around the 5000 marker for me...a while ago...was just intense, a ton of food. It gets tough to stick to a specific breakdown. Depending on how active you are, 3000 may not be much, but for some people it's a ton.
 
I only weigh 136lbs

Currently bulking

GDA is about 2400 calories for me.

3000 should pass maintenance.

Gained 8 lbs only used to weigh 128
 
I am just fiddling with my diet will post it up soon so you lot can see if it is good or crap.

Counting all the calories of every food I eat slowly piecing it together.
 
You'll get the hang of it and fall into a routine after a while.. It only gets easier once you're educated.
