How many meals/calories do you eat a day?
 

So how many calories do you eat a day? I'm 19 and 5'8 (173cm tall) and i eat 3,400-4,000 a day. Currently in a "bulking" phase where i am eating to gain 1-2 pound a week in bodyweight.

My meals are:

1. 2 cups oats with full fat whole milk
2. Meal replacement shake 1,000 calorie 52g protein
3. 250g chicken breast 100g basmati rice
4. Meal replacement shake 1,000 calorie 52g potein
5. Rice cake with smooth natural peanut butter
6. 1 cup oats 1 cup blueberrys full fat whole milk

Everyday without fail. I eat alot of pizza and McDonalds.

I went from 112lbs skinny kid to 168lbs (still a skinny kid).

Not going to be happy till i am 200lbs. Than i will go on a "cutting" phase and eat 1,800 - 2,500 calories a day and lose 1-2lbs a week until i have veiny thick abs like i did in summer at 150lbs.

So not only am i addicted to making money online, i also "hack" my body too. I hope to no longer be working when i am 20 and just going to the gym and eventually entering fitness model/bodybuilding shows. :lol:

Never heard of a bulking phase that includes lots of McDonald's and Pizza. Personally, I'd steer clear of all those trans fats, and ridiculous amounts of sodium to mention a couple.

Whats the point of slaving away at the gym to eat boring foods like chicken and rice? all day. Nothing feels better than a big greasy big mac meal after a grauling workout.

As you can see from my after picture yes ive gained slight bodyfat, i still have a solid 4 pack and am only 14%.

It's calories in VS calories out. If i eat 500 calories over my maintaince calories I WILL GAIN WEIGHT whether it's mcdonalds or home baked in frylight.

My blood pressure ect are all fine. If it aint broke why fix it?

I agree with you, JJ when it comes to your health but I have always found for myself that calorie intake has very little to with the shape I'm in. I'll eat the worst garbage and be in the best shape as long as I keep up an MMA/Boxing routine for definition and a power lifting routine for bulk. If you are keeping up enough activity and muscle mass on your body your basal metabolic rate explodes and you can eat 5,000 calories in a day and still be lean.

@OP: You're "medium", or maybe even the upper part of "medium", at that weight and height.

I eat a ton of crap and still only weigh 58kg at 182cm height (at the end of the day), and have been like that since I was 14. I should be practically anorexic at my height of 182cm at the end of the day but I look healthy. I eat a healthy breakfast (porridge, cereal, toast...) but normally eat a lot of junk (e.g. one 18" pizza to myself...) at lunchtime, and then something more healthy in the evening. I must be eating well over 3000 calories at a guess and yet I can keep the fat away.

Elijay you are the same genetics as me, ectomorph.

I guarantee if you spent 6 months with me id stack 2 stone your frame.

The horrible thing is i have severe body dysmorphia. I look in the mirror and constantly feel i am not "big enough" it is horrible.

I consumed a bargain bucket 8 piece bucket £13.99 to myself yesterday whilst christmas shopping.

if I eat over 1200 a day I put on weight it is very irritating....

3,500-4,500 on average. work out pretty hard 5 days a week.

If it wasn't for my high metabolism I'd be 300 lbs.

look at my musclez

Injectmeplease, aka Bruze, you should really stay off the steroids. They will damage your brain (and spelling ability).

As the picture in post 1 also demonstrates they will shrink your genitals.

If you think 160lbs and 5'8 is steroids your dumber than your posts make out, not to mention the fact I turned 19 a few months back
