Hahah imagine how much food I’d just be dumping down the trash 
6 eggs down. Made 3 .5lb patties to bring to work, my wife is getting tired of me stinking up the house when I get home at like 11 with beef.
She’s sicker of this diet than I am, I think. She’s driving me to work right now and is like “I’m going to the store, need anything?”
“Yeah… beef. And eggs…”

Do you have a problem with leftover burger patties? I cook 3-4 lbs worth of hamburgers for meal prep and eat them throughout the week. That could limit your stinking up the house to once or twice per week.

No problem at all - my work burgers are all reheated anyways. Thanks! Obvious, but didn’t think about it.
Hey, this is totally self-indulgent, but I’m gonna share a story from my childhood with you that I think you’ll dig.
I used to visit my Grandma in Tucson AZ for Christmas. Tucson has jumping cactus which, if you don’t know what they are, they look like this
They’re called “jumping cactus” because, when you walk by them and barely make any contact, they practically jump off their base and a big spiky ball of cactus is now stuck to you. And then, when you try to pull it off, it sticks to your hand, and then you try to pull it off your hand and now your hands are stuck together. It’s a mess.
My Uncle was there with his two dogs: a husky and an Australian cattle dog. The husky was as derpy as possible, and the cattle dog saw itself as the husky’s caretaker/disciplinarian. The husky ended up getting stuck by a jumping cactus. Huskies can make a helluva racket, if you’ve never heard them before. It’s like they’re talking/screaming at you. Well this husky was making that exact racket to signal to my Uncle that it was under distress. My Uncle comes out, sees the mess, grabs some pliers and starts pulling out the individual barbs.
The WHOLE time, the husky is just screaming at my Uncle, with a noise that is both accusatory and in pain. Meanwhile, the cattle dog is just staring the husky down with a look of disgust until, finally, it walks up to the jumping cactus ball that my Uncle pulled off the husky and ATE the goddamn cactus right in front of the husky.
The husky suddenly stopped screaming, and the cattle dog just waited patiently for my Uncle to pull all the barbs out of it’s face before going to lay down and take a nap.
You totally remind me of that cattle dog right now, in light of some young huskies we’ve had around here. I’m such a fan of your log because of that.

Burger last night
Eggs this morning (6)
1 lb (2 .5# patties) burger meat after programming training at work, was famished and this went down like nothing
@T3hPwnisher thanks man. Kind of swelled with pride reading that, because when I get a thumbs up from you on the process, it means I’m doing it right. I actually watched your sped up BTM videos on YT and took some cues when I was crunched on time today, doing band pullaparts in between pull-ups, which gave a hell of a rear delt pump and kept me working in time to get to work on time.
Doing 25 miles with a friend tomorrow on road bikes, which goes perfectly in line with Jim’s recommendation for Saturday’s. My wife also requested that I sub out a meal to eat some salmon with her tomorrow evening, to which I replied that I’d just have to eat all my food and THEN eat salmon

You’re making me want to clear a 6 week window and give BtM a crack.

I’m pretty sure I’d pull off the reverse transformation of Mac from It’s Always Sunny. After six weeks of 6000 calories, I’d be all fat, bloated, and shiny.

To be fair, the beef and eggs alone are only about 2680kcal according to myfitnesspal, depending largely on the fat content of the meat. The 6k+ was Wendlers example day of eating, which looked delicious

Ditto. School is most likely going to be online, and most of my jobs have shut down for the foreseeable future. Won’t have much else to do, haha.

I was thinking it was more beef based on the way Flap is eating. I just looked it up. 1.5 lbs is manageable. I could crush three cheeseburgers a day. Mixing up the condiments goes a long way. I started using creamy horseradish this week and it’s awesome.

That sounds delicious.
For anyone who loves and can put down food easily, I don’t think this is a tough amount of food. All I’m having besides the basics are toast, raw veggies, cheese, and a protein shake with a banana and peanut butter. Probably around 3500. Definitely not at 4K.
It’s more about me proving Dave Tate right when he said “there are no hard gainers, just no brainers”. Meaning, yeah, might be hard, but it’s doable, and if you say you can’t, it’s because you won’t.
