CustardCream:
I think I have recently come to this conclusion about my gains. Any tips on how to build up to 13k a day please?!
Munchies:
Slowly build up to it. Eating high calories foods or maximizing your calories will only get you so far. You'll have the methodically stretch your stomach out.
However, you will not be able to eat 13k calories a day every day. Speaking from experience, you'll only be able to do it for a short span of time. Your body *will* force you to stop because the human body was never meant to be that full for that long.
My partner said that he felt like a pregnant fat hog the entire time. Moving is hard, your back hurts, and you get heart burn, and your digestive system will scream at you.
CustardCream:
Thank you. I do get heart burn now and then, but thankfully it isn't constant. My digestion system can scream sometimes though. I thought I had overdone things with cream, as my body now seems to reject it, so there is no point drinking cream as it will go straight through me. I'm a slow eater which doesn't help I guess, as I will get the full signal and then have to slow right down.
Fingers crossed I can work on stretching my stomach slowly. I know I can eat more than I could a few years ago, but it isn't as much as I would like to!
At the moment, I am trying to have 4 meals a day rather than 3, and whilst I'm no saint, I do aim for at least 5 bits of fruit and veg a day.
Instead of stuffing yourself silly, eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. When you do eat a bigger meal, eat until you are comfortably stuffed and then a little more.
There's also nothing wrong with increasing your capacity that don't have a lot of calories. After all, the point with that is volume, not calorie intake. Basically eating and drinking foods that will stretch you out, but won't leave you filling heavy.
