National Level Competitor Diet - Shocking

[ubcpower]

Juan Morel is one of the top national level competitors on the circuit right now in the US. Ive seen a few training and lifestyle vids of his and heard him interviewed on the radio shows several times. He really struggles to put on weight. This past offseason hes managed to pack it on but at an extreme cost. The following is his exact offseason diet. The amount of food astonished me. Its one thing to eat this in one day, but to do it month after month AND have an All you can Eat day on Sunday, baffles my mind. Thoughts?

Not very large meals at all but to have the time to be able to sit around and have the time to eat that often is great. He's very lucky in that regard. But one with a harder schedule could easily pack just as much calories into 5-6 meals and 2 shakes a day just as easily.

And that cat has a fantastic physique, hes brought it up quite a bit the last 2 years.

Awesome diet. My new off season diet has a lot larger portions but not quite as many meals like Johnny O sed (only 6). Definitly some serious dedication there and a lot of shakes to get the cals up. It is working awesome for him obviously great physique. I think the main thing is to just be consistent. I know if i was to attempt this diet for 2-3 days id be able to hang then id get so sick id give up. As long as your putting on good muscle at a respectable rate what your doing is working. Even with all the time i have i really dont think i could plow down so much food ive tried and it ends up in horrible stomach cramping, nausea, and very poor workouts. I think the take home message is you have to eat past the pain but not so much that you cant properly function.

Yah i think the long term struggle to put down that food consistently would be the hard part. Also, his workout falls in the a.m. after only two smaller-ish meals. I would prob imagine after 10 or so meals any type of high intensity workout would be near impossible. The prep would also be a nightmare Id imagine. If you go on his facebook he has a whole album dedicated to his "Sunday All You Can Eat" cheat meals. He posts pics of like 100+ cheat meals, they are insane too.

that many meals a day i would be having an anti-binge day on sunday to take a break from shovelling food all day

[ubcpower]

id love someone from the site to try it exactly as written
one day and let us know how they feel

What are the intervals between meals?

[JacktheThriller]

16 hours over 12 meals hours assuming 8 hours of sleep 1 meal every 1hr 20 mins

isn't 1 cup cooked like 60g+ of carbs? I guess it varies but I always figured that 1 cup uncooked = 150g carbs.

1/3 cup inclined oats is about 1 cup cooked

[Curt Griffin]

Wow now that't eating every 75-80 mins, impressive digestive system! I'd be in agony!
