Thread: 6000 calories a day

Aronofsky is directing this? Awesome.

I've been at 4500-5000 cals a day for several months (not any more). It is rough eating clean and getting those cals in. 6k has got to be really difficult. I'm sure there is a lot of force feeding involved.

cant imagine. 4000 is even tough sometimes

hes one of those guys that has to wake up and slam protien shakes. i WISH my metabolism was go good that I had to go to those lengths to gain muscle

He also uses gear to prepare for those flicks...

a serious amount of gear too i expect,out of curiosity i wonder what gear these guys use?

I hate that full, miserable, about to explode feeling.

i read an article about michael phelps back around olympic time and it said he eats 10,000 a day.

This is true. Sometimes 12,000. He burns like 8,500 training. So it works out.

It is easier when you have somebody preparing most of your meals. He probably gets some variety. Where us full-time working busy people need quick meals.

Oh my god how does he get that much food down? Is he eating cans of lard?

why would you want to eat so many calories a day? your body will use only so many no matter how hard you train the rest will just be pooped out or stored as fat as it builds up...are you trying to get fat?

He is pretty ripped for that many cals

How long have you been on the diet

He really needs to work on his forearms. They look pathetic compared to his upper arms!

I would go into catabolic shock with only 6k a day and atrophize into one of you's.

Dont think this is accurate. He ate a ton, but it was so clean he claimed the best part of winning the golds and having the olympics end was being able to eat a burger and other cheat/tasty foods again. Why would he say that if he was eating pizza everynight?

Supposedly, he 8 10-12 thousand cals/day. Ain't no way you could get that many on chicken, veggies, & brown rice. I can believe the fried egg sammiches and shit, but to say he got that many cals clean, I gotta call BS.

Well, I'm calling BS on pizza every night! Put it this way, I have to KILL MYSELF to eat 2500 calories a day. I could cram food all day, and I'm not talking crap. I can eat unlimited salmon, sweet potato, almonds, brown rice, eggs, whole milk, steak, etc. It amazes me how some people have such a hard time with taking in enough calories to bulk. I wish I was them! LOL

So amazing!
