There are some commonalities in how the biggest and strongest eat.
“You still eat massive steaks, massive amounts of them. I remember regularly running into you at the store, and you’d always be buying bag fulls of these big ass steaks.”
I got a laugh, “not as much now. Probably ¼ of my meals are stew, ¼ homemade burgers, still mooing, and I drink a lot of milk. Always have. Milk has been my truest mainstay.”
“Yeah me too, I drink a lot of milk. I eat massive amounts of eggs. Tons of eggs.”
“I’m not big on eggs, do you drink them or cook them? I have phases where I use a lot of eggs, I mostly drink them in shakes with ice cream for flavor and milk or cream to blend.”
Later that same day a buddy told me he’s at over a dozen eggs each day, and ramping it up to bulk.
No ice cream in his blender to hide the consistency of snail, just rice cakes, eggs, and turmeric.
Except him
All the biggest and strongest I know eat big. They all consume relatively high amounts of protein, and for the most part eat mixed macros.
All can, but not necessarily will, put down food. The fact I can eat over 3000 calories in a go is how I get away with intermittent fasting while staying in the mid 200s.
Muscular size is built mostly from three sources :
•lots of meat
•lots of dairy
•lots of eggs
The three are the source of nutrition. After them calories are increased with everything and anything by personal taste.
Dude I know, almost got a pro card, probably 6’3″ 330 at his peak –
I ran into him at the grocery store, and razzed him a bit on the 20+ lbs of chicken breast that were the first thing in his cart.
“Yep, they’ve always worked for me.”
•lots of meat
•lots of dairy
•lots of eggs
I tend to tell people “you don’t want to know how I eat, unless you’re trying to bulk”.
I got that down pat.
•lots of meat
•lots of dairy
•lots of eggs
Figure your way with the three.
The variation is endless.
If you’re eating 3lbs of meat (and I call 1dz eggs = 1lb meat) with a gallon of milk each day…it’s impossible to be small.
I came across some 10,000 calorie “challenge” stuff online. What a joke.
That’s four feedings on a particularly hungry day.
1900 calories of food with a quart of milk x 4.
Probably less food as I’d be drinking juice in addition to the milk.
