"4000 calories" ? With "real food" ? In one meal -- how ? I eat 3 full meals and a weight gain smoothie and barely pass 2700 calories for the day. Is there something you would recommend adding to my diet so I can increase my calories a bit as I would like to gain some weight. But seriously unless your meal is 100% deep fried, I can't even picture a 4000 calorie meal.
There isn't one particular ingredient, it's just large amounts of high-fat meat with large amounts of high-fat, high-carb side dishes. Say, skin-on chicken thighs with mashed potato that't full of butter and caramelized onion that's full of oil. It might be hard to "picture" because you're trying to picture a plate of food, but in the volumes I used to eat, the amount of food wouldn't fit on a single plate, even piled high on a large one.
I wouldn't recommend anyone eat this way.
Edit: I have the same problem. I ate a whole frozen pizza a few days ago and felt like crap for a day afterward. Not just a little personal one either. A full Screamin' Sicilian pepperoni...
