How do you hit 4000kcal without it feeling like a full-time job?
Hey everyone!
I’m currently aiming for around 4000kcal a day, spread across four meals and a couple of snacks.
I walk around 15km daily, run around 50km weekly, lift 3-4 times a week and occasionally swim, play basketball or other sports for fun...
Since these are all 'proper' meals, I’m stuck either staying home or meal prepping and carrying food everywhere I go.
Honestly, it’s becoming a huge drag.
It would be easy to hit that number if I just loaded up on fats, but I’m trying to keep those around 1.2–1.3g/kg (roughly 100g/day). Once I hit my protein goal (135–160g), the rest has to come from carbs.
Also, I try to minimize junk food.
How do you guys manage this much volume without spending your whole life thinking about, prepping, or eating food?
