I can think of so many ways to have so much more fun with 5,000 calories.

Sounds like a quote from American Pie to me.

On a serious note though, there is no way I'm going to be eating junk on a daily basis to get my cals in. Keeping it clean is the way to go IMO.

[lovingit]

Nice, Ryan! I'm full just looking at it.

[matt_nyc]

looks delicious

[JValjean724]

nice... nom nom

The fact that this diet can elicit this type of response says a whole lot about how the kinds of things people eat on a day to day basis.

I know what a waste......so boring!

I should make a new thread "2.8K in a Day"....it would be infinitely more exciting

[desslok]

Not one meal?

Suuuuuuuuuuuuure.........

Thanks!

Pretty much everything in those pictures tastes awesome.

The thing is that you view 5K as cheat day most likely, I view it a daily intake right now. If I did something like 8K in a day, then I'd want to eat some junk. But 5K, I don't think so.

Could just eat 2 lbs of slab bacon. I would not. But thats just me. But as far as body composition goes it really does not matter as long as it fits in your macros.

Lol, I'm not going to feed into that crap Erick. I'm aware of the 'clean' dilemma, and I prefer to eat clean foods the majority of the time and call those foods clean, regardless of what others say about the term 'clean.'

Had to laugh at that last line. I'll give you $1000.00 to eat solely 2lbs of bacon every day for a year and we'll see how your body handles it.

I'm always shocked when people use the term "clean food", as if it has any meaning. Basically, you're just saying "I eat the food that I think I'm suposed to eat". That's very informative.

That said, I'm really curious about how you define "clean food".

[PJR23]

only quoting what gets preached on here daily bro. Not saying i agree ,as i tend to eat more like you. I feel better when i eat "healthier" options. If you say that on here though you get crucified because body composition and being healthy are two different entities. Again, I prefer to eat healthier than bacon and my comment was in jest.

No offense, but I'm not getting into this debate with you. I posted up my meals because people have been asking me for them, specifically how to get 5K in a day.

This is not a thread to debate clean vs. dirty, or whether or not the term 'clean' is a term that should even be used.

I use the term 'clean' when helping people, and people love what I do for them. It gets the point across, and people relate to it and understand it. Therefore, I'll keep using it.

Good, because I was pretty horrified in thinking that someone could actually believe what you said, lol.

[JValjean724]

I wasn't referring to cheating at all, though for me yes 5k would be quite the cheat. The term "junk food" to me has no meaning.

My main point was that if I was going to start a new thread with the sole purpose of showing off my diet I'd make sure my diet was more exciting than eating a bunch of plain bread and whey shakes all day.

[WonderPug]

At least you didn't try to define the term. Most times, when people go that route, it getting pretty darn comical.

By the way, the easiest way to get to 5,000 calories is to eat calorically dense foods. Products like skim milk, skinless checken and an abundance of protein shakes isn't the most volume efficient or (to many people) tastiest way to consume a relatively high volume of calories. And it's not even the "healthiest", as whole foods are clearly superior to an overdependance on protein supplements.

[adamg8504]

5 scoops of whey and 5 slices of bread with nothing on them or in between them?

Where's the steak and potato?

I have my definitions, just not getting into it.

If by calorically dense, you mean fatty, I had my almonds, walnuts, and dark chicken meat. I'm not going to base my meals around fats though, as they would eat up my calories and leave me with little room for protein and carbs. Protein and carbs are important to me.

I had beef the other day, as well as sweet potatoes. Keep in mind, this is just one day.

You only need at the absolute most 300 grams of protein and that's aiming at the outer band of physiological requirements (assuming no special "supplements") and you have 5,000 calories to play with.

Thus, protein requirements are met in, at most, 1,200 calories. Let's say you want to eat 400 grams of carbs, with is a high intake for someone of your bodyweight. That's another 1,600 calories. Now you have room for 2,200 calories of yummy fat. Yes, that means you can have a steak and not just "supplement with nuts for fat".

I think you're selecting foods based on this magical concept that "clean foods" are "better" and not based on an analysis of micro/macronutrient sufficiency.

Do you know who you are talking to??!!

This guy is an expert!

^ An expert at what, cleaning food?

Based on your last statement, you're incorrect on what youre assuming I think. You're talking to me like I'm a rookie or something. I view foods as primary macronutrient sources. I prefer to eat food that supply mainly one macronutrient, which tends to keep things simple and eliminate man made food products. Chances are, if a food contains a bunch of carb and fat calories, its far from natural. Of course there are exceptions when it comes to protein/fat combo foods, but rarely carb/fat foods.

I'm sure you have a different opinion, which doesn't bother me. You do your way, ill keep doing my way, and when I'm 43, we can compare my progress with your current state That keeps it simple. That seems fair, doesn't it?

[WonderPug]

I'm just trying to let people know that doing what you do isn't necessary by any reasonable stretch of the imagination. It will have absolutely no special impact on bodyweight or composition. None. Zero. Nada. Period. Full stop.

Chances are, if a food contains a bunch of carb and fat calories, its far from natural.

That's ridiculous. It's equivalent of saying that if food has calories, it probably far from natural.

A wide range of natural, whole foods, include red meat, fish, fowl, eggs, nuts and milk contain mixes of macronutrients including fat, protein and, yes, even carbs.

[thedrivenone]

Some math is wrong there bro.

Meal 3 Milk is off. That Banana will weigh less than the typical 25-27g carb banana, if you've ever had to weigh one....you'll see. That's just some, there are others but nonetheless with 5000 calories I'd have more fun. Each to their own but I praise you for being able to consume that without getting fat.

very jelly.

[soupermayn]

Are you saying that you wash your food?

see you having this argument in different threads like every single day lmao i agree basically agree with you though.

The only food i would consider "dirty" are for e.g cakes (and **** in that catergorie) along with take aways. For the simple reason they are loaded with fat and contain huge amounts of calories. One large pizza can fill up a daily requirement of calories.

Other than that i consider any other food fine to eat on any diet, cutting or bulking.

Did I say it would have a special impact? Why are you arguing with your own points? Why is your way any more necessary than mine? By the way, can you lay out a day of your own nutrition so I can see how it differs so much?

That's ridiculous. It's equivalent of saying that if food has calories, it probably far from natural.
Not at all.

A wide range of natural, whole foods, include red meat, fish, fowl, eggs, nuts and milk contain mixes of macronutrients including fat, protein and, yes, even carbs.
Give me 10 examples of foods that contain a good portion of their calories from both fats and carbs, which aren't produced in a factory. I think that is a reasonable request, given your quoted claim.

See Bold. Also, I asked you a question at the end of my last post. I asked you if my proposition seemed fair. Does it?
