Megestrol acetate for appetite enhancer?

[B~RAD]

Can anyone tell me anything about this? It's used for people with anorexia to eat more. I'm bulking and eating around 5500 cals a day and its hard to stomach more food. I'm already using injectable b-12.

5500 is a LOT of cals for ANYBODY.

generally if i feel i'm not hungry enough, i do more cardio

I guess. I weigh 165ish and am not gaining weight. so obviously its not enough. But its so hard to stomach more than that for me

brad...whats you daily diet look like?

 

[B~RAD]

Im just counting cals and protein right now. hitting about 5k-5500 cals and 300g of protein.

It's different every day,but here's what I've eaten so far today. I've been up for 3 hours

4 eggs, 4tbs natty chocolate pb , 2 slices of bread (pb and egg sandwhich )

2 servings of wheaties, scoop of protein, 10oz whole milk


Lunch I'll usually have chicken with a bunch of different sides and then most meals after that are some sort of red meat. I eat tons of red meat. Fruit at every meal after lunch too. I dont have any reasoning behind it. I just really like eating a ton of fruit from the afternoon til bed

hmmmm......5500cals is alot to not grow. if your consistant with that every day maybe go get some bloodwork done. it could be that your metabolism is just that fast too.

your 165 lbs? and eating 5500 cals?

I really dont think that you need to up the calories. Thats a TON of food for a 165 lb guy. Maybe its in your training, sleep, etc.

im 6'3 and 250-260ish and from my experience a few years ago i got up to eating 7000+ calories and i still wasnt putting on any more weight than when i was eating 4500-5000 cals.

I think its best to lay your complete diet out and lets see if that is in check first.

on a side note..... I really believe that your body can adapt to a diet, so i feel that when you get to the point where you cant eat any more in a given day, that the macros should be switched around.
