After the gym I hit the grocery store, a $20 bill in hand, and walked out with nearly 10,000 calories.
Not exactly two days worth of food, but it could be so, and frankly I could get by on $20/week if necessary.
That just would mean purchasing different foods.
However I prefer just spending what I happen to spend, buying whatever sounds good.
My grocery cart a lesson in instinctive eating, it’s all by craving.
Whether it’s diet or training – instinctive works for me.
I ate at least a quarter of those calories that night, had a couple dinners, don’t know my exact nutrition, I just know I put down a good deal over a couple sittings, and this :
EATING IS THE ANABOLIC ACTIVITY
Dirty bulking is what separates the heavily muscled from everyone else.
When your calories are high, and your protein intake is sufficient, the quality of the calories matters far far less than most expect.
On low calories processed soy is probably bad, but as filler outnumbered by the meat anyway
on a calorie bomb of frozen food the body just processes it.
Don’t underestimate how powerful an anabolic a fat and calorie bomb of frozen food is.
Go eat 5000+ calories, and give yourself the level of physicality necessary to process it effectively.
Feasting on quantity is 1000x more muscle building than starving on quality.
This applies most to the young.
And the biggest dudes tend to be found acquiring calories at the discount grocers, not the yuppie places.
I walked in more than once with a $5 bill, and walked out with 10lbs of chicken, a dollar bill, and a dime.
Same place I’d buy pinto beans at 33¢/lb, and big cans of tomato sauce at similarly silly low prices.
The place sold cactus for cooking, as well as other plants I never identified, was noticably dirty, but fed you well.
•chicken
•pork
•beans
•tomato sauce
I don’t recall ever buying any other items there.
A quantity of milk will always beat some protein powder.
The entire frozen pizza beats a couple cans of tuna.

I am an eating and training machine
It’s near bed, I’ve got a bit more pushups to do, and type as I eat.
Over 5000 calories on the day, I doubt I’ll be sore in the morning.
Junk food is a large part of size in this fat society, and dirtier but nutritious foods are the bread and butter of the heavily muscled.
Talking about that really cheap grocery store, I was living off stew at the time, and was not crazy big eating lots of nutritious food (stew) supplemented with junk food (soda, cookies).
I’m much heavier eating mostly dirty but nutritious foods with some clean foods and some junk food.
A certain amount of dirty and junk food simply make you larger in height, fat, and muscle.
Bigger.
It’s something I’ve noted.
Eating and getting some muscular stimulus before bed?
I’ll wake up bigger. The extra food will go straight to my traps.
What you expect is what you get.
