OK guys, I think I learned a few things while the BTC III challenge has just started. Here they are:
1. It’s not that hard to get 3000 cals a day
Really… Milk, nuts, peanut butter sandwiches or sandwiches with chicken and ham help a lot! It’s not that hard to get 1000 cals from milk alone!!! You drink 6 cups of milk and you have around 960 cals! Add 50g of nuts and you have another 300+ cals. And you can eat that much nuts in one sitting (if you like them esp.). In a day you can have two sittings of nuts of 50 g each that amounts to 600+ cals. And those are just two snacks and you don’t have to drink 6 cups of milk at once. Once every two hours a cup and you are ok! Combined that’s around 1600 cals! And you still have 3 meals to eat and one more snack could be sneaked in! ;) 500 cals a meal is not very hard! And this has NO SUPPLEMENTS at all. Protein shake will add some more cals to it :)

Hey guys,
update for two last days.
They both sucked for me and depressing mood is not good if you want to gain muscle. I gotta get rid of it somehow.
Day 8:
2 sandwiches
3 eggs
4 cups of milk
4 donuts
30-35g of peanuts
Probably didn’t get 2500 cals
Day 9:
4 cups of milk
50g pistachios
Soup
Pizza
Lion chocolate bar
Looking forward to tomorrow! Will do better! I give my word!
