Stomach.
For the guys who are eating like horses trying to put on mass - Post up a good example of what you're eating throughout the day.
I want to get a feel for the ridiculous amounts of food I have to put down to gain mass.

I just finished lunch - 1 cup cooked brown rice, 6oz chicken breast, 1 cup steamed vegetables, 1/2ox almonds. I average 2600 cals a day, and those are cycled through the week on lifting and non-lifting days. Not a big eater by any means, but it's enough for me.
I'll try to post up a menu when I get off work.

I'm trying to cut weight but still lift at as close a level as I'm used to.
Daily meal:
B: 1-2 cups of coffee, 2 apples and a banana or 1 apple and banana and a fage 0% Greek yogurt.
L: 7oz of white meat chicken (in a bag) 12oz steam bag veggies, seasoned with yellow curry
S: 1-2 apples and a banana
D: Greek yogurt carton
I've been coming in at right around 1000 calories a day. If I don't snack as much on fruit or have the extra container of yogurt, that drops me 120-200 calories.

How much does the OP weigh...?
I know when i was really trying to gain mass, i was up to 3600-800 calories a day... and it's alot of "clean food", but i was trying not to eat a bunch of garbage to minimize fat gains...
eating that many calories is work in of itself...

I'm at 210 lbs, about 6'3" - slender build.
I'm trying to see if trying to maintain a mass-gaining diet is going to be as difficult as I think it will be.
Because fact is, even if I intake 4000 calories a day, I'm just not going to be able to maintain that diet longterm and end up losing that mass - so what's the point?

OP you are at my target weight. And we are the same height. I remember that weight and I wasn't too skinny. Are you looking to get yoked or just put on a little more muscle?
I still have some skinny fat to get rid of, but yeah, I'd like to add more muscle mass (who doesn't?!).
I've only been doing the 5x5 for a couple months now so I'm sure I have a ways to go with this program.

for serious? a quick glance/calc says its way under that..then again you could be drinking the olive oil  breakdown?
140 * 6 cups cottage cheese = 840
Protein shake = 280
4 cups pineapple = 320
3 tbsp olive oil = 300
~1750-1800 cals

Food is just fuel, bro!
But since I intermittent fast every day, that's just about 1-2 gigantic meals before I sleep.
