    So, using a 16” pizza as a “xl” size.

    PapaJohns XL cheese: 3000 calories Dominos XL cheese: 2980 calories

    I powerlift 3-4 days a week and run 30-60k a week depending on how many days I lifted.

    If I ate JUST one of those a day as a 6’ tall man I’d still gain weight and want to die.

      When I was 20 I could easily pound down a full Papa John’s pizza and stay skinny as a rail. Nowadays I eat one cookie after dinner and my body permanently incorporates it into my mass, never to be released again.

      Age and biology are big factors here. For me to gain, at the pace you go weekly, I’d have to make myself sick eating enough to keep up.

        3000 calories a day is a lot my dude, that’s a lot of food being talked about.

          I dont know yhe other commentor, but i am pretty much permanantly poor because i have to eat about 2800 just to maintain my weight. I literally cannot afford to feed myself the massive amount of food it requires for my body to simply maintain.

          Im 30, 145 lbs, 6’3", and it only takes my body about 45 minutes for food to go in one end and out the other, whereas its supposed to be closer to 8 hours
