In a follow up to my Facebook post yesterday about guys wishing to get big, I stated in order to get big you need to create a surplus in calories, which means eating big. I've managed to put on 2kg in the past 2 weeks to over 116kg and 23kg in just over 2 years by following this rule.
There's no way I could reach my minimum 5,000 caloric target by just eating "cleanly" like chicken, fish, vegetables & rice in every meal. I'm a big believer in flexible (IIFYM) dieting to hit my calorie and macro targets. I simply don't have the time or inclination to eat 8 times a day with my work commitments and appetite, therefore each of the 3-5 meals I consume will be between 800 and 2,000 calories. The post workout meal for my first training session today was a Five Guys double cheeseburger, with fries and 2 refills of soda - 1,800 calories, 60g protein, 150g carbs and 92g fat - perfect for me. During the day I'll also eat lots of vegetables and fruit to hit my micronutrient targets also.
