Putting 4,500 calories into perspective!

**Sanjuro** · 11-23-2002, 04:12 AM

Hi there,
Correct nutrition accounts for at least 80% of bodybuilding success, and according to the experts, the only way of putting on the bulk is to increase the daily calorie intake to at least 4,500, particulary if you are a hardgainer like myself. How many calories should I eat per meal?
What does an 800 calorie meal look like? Is that the average size dinner?
These days my breakfast consists of two fried eggs, three sausages, four strips of bacon, 2 - 4 pieces of buttered toast, a slice of fried bread, and a bowl of cereals. How many calories would that amount to?
How many calories are in 60 grams of protein shake.

well, if you're wanting to know the answer to how many calories you have in your meal - why don't you just look at the nutritional information and find out for yourself ??? it's not that hard.

my breakfast consists of :

1 quake maple / brown sugar oatmeal packet
1/2 cup regular oatmeal
1 cup skim milk
2 egg whites (the liquid kind)
1 whole egg
12 oz. OJ

eggs are mixed together and scrambled. oatmeal's are mixed together. comes out to 714 calories, 41 g protien, 114 g carbs, 10 g fat

if you don't like to add all that stuff up yourself, i suggest you get a little program that saves all the information and adds it up for you. there is also a place online (i think pete235 knows the site) that can do all this for you too.

basicall if you're lookin to get in your 4500 calories, you gotta wake up early and start eatin. none of this sleepin in until noon BS.

Yeah. If you are a hard gainer, ectomorph... JUST EAT! And when you go out for some fast food - instead of a combo with fries... order like 5 sandwiches off the $.99 menu. Or go to Jack In the Crack and pick up a couple Ultimate Cheesburgers... and just to flirt with the little high school chick, ask for a Diet Coke with it!
