160lbs MAINTAINING on 5700 cals. FML

I would love to have your problem. 900 carbs? I would have food orgasms all day long. But like PBateman2 said, get familiar with 1000cal ice cream shakes.

Ditto. Good problem to have man, good problem to have.

Have you guys ever consistently ate that much? Especially that many carbs. I have and I love food and have a disposal of a stomach, but it does cause a lot of extra stress on your body to digest all that food.

[Torance]

Go get your thyroids checked.

Also, you say you are lifting 4x/week and not particularly active, but to have that high of TDEE, it can't just be metabolism(sans medical condition). Do you do cardio? Do you walk a lot? You need to learn the art of sitting still.

^ this, you might be hyperthyroidism.

Yep most people would love to eat that much for a day or even a weekend . But having to do it every day just to maintain weight blows

Right on target with this one, bro.

Feeling stuffed all the time and farting like and ape has its drawbacks.

[hema94x]

Can anyone give me some advice on how to get more calories in without eating 24/7.
I know hard gainer threads must get annoying but burning through 5700 calories a day while having the apatite of a 160lb guy, it becomes really tough to sustain.

Macros are
180 p
900 c
150 f

Things I'm already doing: putting sugar/ice cream in my protein shakes
Eating lots of ice cream
Lots of cookies
Taking shots of olive oil whenever I'm bored srs

ice cream shakes+nuts=calorie dense love.

[necon76]

I remember reading in Arnold's encyclopaedia that he recommended people struggling to gain weight should make shakes with 12oz milk, 12oz cream, 6 eggs, & protein powder.


I laughed & thought "who the hell would ever need to do that?" Now I know.

[psychodiver9]

In late and haven't read all but op have you tried replacing some carbs with fats? More calorie dense

[lemeseethem]

I gained from 110 lbs to 160 and had to eat over 5k cals. Things I did:
Put coconut oil in my shakes
Drank optimum serious mass
Poured olive oil on pizza
Drank eggs whites
Peanut butter in errthing
McDonald Burger King churches and Popeyes
Izzos burrito has about 1400 cals in it too

[giovanny22]

I'm on it as I'm typing lol . I urinate around 10 times a day, and drop a Duce like 7.

As far as the doctor I go twice a year and always get bloodwork done. Doctor has never told me about any thyroid problems

[Dawkins36]

This was one of the more interesting threads i read in awhile. I want the guy suggesting that the op eats 6000 calories of blueberries to come back.

[tmd17]

I have this problem aswell. Im extremely active though so thats why I burn alot! Make shakes. 400ml whole milk. 300g oats. 40g pb. Scoop of mass gain protein shake ( purely for calorific values ) tablespoon olive oil. About 1300 calories there and can be drunk in like 30 seconds. ( my breakfast most days ) if ylur looking for cals 2 of these a day will be perfect. Could eat ahain about an hour or so after. Not particualary filling at all but full of energy.

Perfect macros and gets me drunk in 30 seconds?

Sign me up!!

[geero82]

You could brush your teeth with milkshakes.

[SizzlingPants]

God... I wish i could eat that much and not turn into a whale. And you said you don't do extra exercise?

[RyansRecovery]

[lee__d]

so what you are saying is glycemic index / insulin response as nothing to do with body composition. Alright, then. Eat those poptarts, more berries for me.

I would seriously advise you to have a blood test done for thyroid function. Sounds like hyperthyroidism to me.

I have had blood work done and my thyroid is healthy

[klaximilian]

I wish I was completely healthy and could maintain on 5700 calories. I'd crush it in the kitchen....

[cjowns76]

Can you please post what a normal day is like for you? Maybe a screenshot of MFP or something?

I maintain on like 2800, I'd like to see how you get in double that.

LOL I was not suggesting that he eats 6000 calories of blueberries. My point is if he was eating real food maybe he wouldn't need 6000 calories in the first place. Having to sit 7x per day with all the ice cream and oreo cookies you eat you must **** blizzards.

OP show us what you eat in a day. From a to z. Cause all I got so far is cookies and Ice cream.

[Waziristan]

Man, you must spend a ton of money on food.

[Rabie72]

i just come in to say, mirin ur voice.

[Blaine2007]

I'd love that problem. I'd be eating California Burritos with Chochlate milk all day.

Explain to me how eating "real food" would cause me not to have to eat as many calories ?

[Blaine2007]

Increase your fat consumption, i.e 1 gram of fat= 9 calories, more calorie dense.

Peanut Butter, Olive Oils, Coconut Oil, Mayo, Whole Milk, Bacon, Chicken Legs / Thighs, Ribeyes,
