How do certain athletes (JJ Watt, Dwayne Johnson, Michael Phelps) eat a 9000+ calorie a day diet? I understand they exercise religiously, but it’s nearly impossible to burn enough calories from exercise to avoid gaining massive weight. Assuming cardio is the fastest way to burn calories, and you burn 700 calories an hour, and you eat 9,000 a day, to get back to at least 3000 calories you would have to run for 8 and a half hours. Where does all the calories go?

They're professional athletes training both cardio and strength for 5-6+ hours a day. They need to eat both a caloric maintenance level for a physique way above the average person as well as provide their bodies with enough energy for recovery.

Do you swim around 10km a day in addition to other training?

Dwayne Johnson is on gear
Michael Phelps did not eat 9000 calories a day

>JJ Watt
freak of nature, trains at both speed of an RB and strength of a lineman.
>The Rock
gear abuser, has to maintain low bf and unnatural physique to continue getting work
>Michael Phelps
swims 10km daily and probably also weight lifts/does other cardio on the side

if you aren't in the physical range of any of these athletes then 5000+ calorie diets wont make sense for you

Just stopping by to say that BJJ can burn 1000 calories an hour and I know average joes that train 2-3 times a day and lift weights.

Im sure theres research about this out there. The body doesnt have the workforce to process everything.

I imagine being in that high calorie situation is like the salt water balance.

Consuming large quantities of water habits your body to expect water and relax. Less water is trafficed and stored in your body.

Same with salt, your kidneys are processing salts and balancing them but when your on a high salt diet your kidneys actually get a chance to relax and your bodies blood colume increases.

So i imagine having so much food in your body has some kind of relaxing effects too.
