Bruh, I’m an endurance cyclist. Today I’m eating close to 6000 kcal. Sounds like you need to eat more caloricly dense foods. I eat a lot of smoothies and spike the calories with whey, beetroot, peanut butter.
You should eat until you feel comfortable, not to the point where you are stuffed and can’t move (food coma). Force-feeding yourself is very hard on the digestive system and can also constipate you, which is not healthy long-term. Maybe use smoothies instead? They’re pretty affordable, and go down pretty easily without filling you up and have plenty of nutrition and calories, but still can make you feel satiated afterward. And you can adjust according to however much calories / macros you want.
For example, when I was bulking, I’d blend up:
• scoop of vanilla protein powder (110cal / 20g protein)
• 1 banana (\~100 cal)
• 3 T peanut butter (285 cal / 10 G protein)
• 1 cup whole milk ( 160 cal / 8g protein)
• 1/8 oats ( 80 cals / but lots of fiber)
• 2 tsp matcha powder (for the caffeine)
Totaling about 750-800 cals. 45+g protein
Now that I’m cutting, I reduced it down to only one T of peanut butter and no oats. And you can change that up — use different fruits, water instead of milk, coffee might sound weird but that’s not a bad substitute for the matcha / milk. I think it’s important to blend in whole fruits rather than juice since it adds to the fiber / satiety component of the smoothie, which also helps you not have a sugar spike.
Just have one or two of the bulking shakes, and I doubt you’d have trouble meeting your calorie needs with other foods later in the day.
I am a therapist and the impact isn’t just physical it can also be mental too. Force-feeding can lead you to training your body to react negatively at the sight of food, i’ve often seen it lead to eating disorders. You should enjoy what you eat, maybe consider eating more foods that are calorically dense and healthy rather than eating large amounts multiple times a day. if you like what you eat you might not have to force yourself. stay safe!😁
