how hard is it to exercise / train eating that much?   

You can clear 6,000 calories with a couple of Costco pizzas. Simple.

I remember going down on the bus to St Louis for the Mizzu dual.   After the win went to a restaurant.  Sitting at table next to Lockhart.  One of the other fans there challenge him to eat two plates of t-bone, bake potatoe etc.  He did no problem.  

Remember another time went down, Mizzu won, the reservation was cancelled, we all went home hungry.  

And then won a coin flip after eating all that.  Fantastic athlete.  Most gifted coin flip winner I have ever seen.

Can you eat 43 potatoes a day for 7 days straight?  If you add butter can you get it down to 40 plus sour cream maybe 35?  

My ancestors did! No problem!

Daily Totals:

• Calories: 6,000-6,200
• Protein: Around 160-180 grams
• Fats: Around 200-220 grams
• Carbs: Around 600-650 grams

This plan is designed to provide a balance of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. You can adjust portions based on your specific caloric needs and preferences. Make sure to drink plenty of water and consider adding supplements such as B12, Vitamin D, and Omega-3s (from algae oil) if needed.

If you want more variety, you can swap some meals with similar-calorie options (e.g., beans, chickpeas, tempeh, or other legumes) to maintain nutritional balance.

This would be a lot easier to do without it being vegan.  Not making a value judgement.

6000 calories a day isn't that tough, but 6000 healthy calories is the tricky part.  Probably involves a lot of high calorie protein shakes.

43 medium potatoes is approximately 6k calories.... so more like a garden than acres. 

Medium? Is that what they called 20's or 30's?

10 ounces of wild venison will get you 1000 calories with 50% less fat and 20% more protein than beef. But if you only like veggies then none for you.

I've never had to bump up like that, but with all the sports nutrition and supplements out there these days my feeling is that packing on 6k of healthy cals/day probably isn't as tough as going the other way with a hard cut. Definitely more pleasant than whatever McD had to go through to make weight. Football and basketball players bulk up like that all the time, so I assume the training staff at Iowa have it down to a science. 

Big question is how the Kooter handles the added mass. He didn't exactly have the best gas tank to begin with...

The most I've ever tracked and routinely consumed was about 4800 and I had to train after my first meal, or I would feel too sluggish, and my training was just lifting. I imagine it would be extremely difficult to eat 6k calories of relatively whole food (I'm sure he's using some olive oil with each meal and some dextrose drink after each workout which could probably get you between 1k-1500 liquid calories a day). It's sort of his job and I'm sure they have great nutritionists to help but between class and workouts It would be the rest of his day that he is dedicating to eating/prepping food because 5k calories of relatively whole foods is a beast to get down.

Apparently a jar of peanut butter is about 3,000 calories.  I've been known to polish one off in a sitting with a spoon

I thought he had a GREAT gas tank starting with what he did to Ukraine in his U20 title run semi.  He wasn't bad at U20 this year either.  I agree that he didn't look good in his first NCAA match this year.

Yeah...I don't think anyone would have any trouble if they were JUST trying to eat 6,000 calories a day. 

I remember Hilger was Wrestling at...~215 or so and went on a ~12,000 calorie a day diet...but it was JUST to gain weight. He added ~40 pounds, but I don't know how much of it was good weight. 

Also, Keuter is still going back to Football, right? I thought the plan was for him to commit this year to Wrestling and then...he'd be back on the FB team next year. So either way, he's gotta get up to ~240-250. I don't even recall what he plays(I thought he was an Edge/DE/LB) but IF his eventual goal is to make a career out of playing FB, he's gonna have to pack that weight on.

I also remember a TV show, it's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Really funny show, but one of the guys on the show gets really fat on year because he noticed that on most shows that are successful, everyone gets better looking as they get private chefs and stuff like that. So he wanted to go the other way. He said it was miserable. But again, he was doing things like leaving out a quarter or two of ice cream in the morning and then drinking it later in the day. Just getting fat. 

 

A vegan adding 6000 calories? The toughest part would be preparing all the meals. Then it'd be just like the OP said, walking around and not feeling like you've got a growth in your stomach.

Easy...especially if you add a quart of high protein healthy ice cream.

I wasn’t very good, but in college I weighed about 120 wrestling 125 and tried eating a ton of calories and drinking weight gainer shakes (where basically one scoop of the stuff took up an entire drink mixer).  IMO that was more difficult than cutting, although I never had a “hard” cut in HS.  I also felt sluggish and ultimately stopped doing it because I felt I could wrestle better just at my natural weight. 

[MNRodent]

About 75 hardboiled eggs will get you around 6,000 calories of protein.  Cool Hand Luke was a wussy for stopping at 50.

Ya that’s what I was thinking as to why it is hard.   Now I didn’t have it as easy (cutting lol).  I cut to 126 fr year of college from a 130/125 sr year.   Then i had a hard time making 134 so year… I can’t imagine putting that food in my body “and” training.

This is a very important question. I need you to think carefully before you answer. Our entire internet message board friendship is riding on your reply.

Creamy or chunky?
