So here's where I go.

I go, okay, I need 78,000 calories to live for 30 days and not lose weight.

I even got a DEXA scan before just to see what I was at, even my body comp to the point of losing muscle.

And so I said, okay, well, I basically have to grow calories.

I can't really worry about the macronutrients of it, protein, fat, carbs.

I just need literally calories.

And in 90 days, the only things you can do that are going to get you enough calories are going to be beans and potatoes.

So I maxed out on potatoes like crazy.

The starches.

Yeah, yeah.

It's like carbohydrate heavy.

But anyway, so I grew about 80, 100 pounds of potatoes and some amount of beans.

I forgot what it was.

Because the protein and fat, specifically fat, actually harder than protein to grow quickly.

You think about plants with a lot of fat, you're thinking about like there's like a coconut or an avocado or something.

You can't grow those in 90 days.

And so I did allow myself to fish just because I was like, I think I will seriously struggle nutritionally if I don't get enough fat.

In San Diego, there's, and actually along the whole western coast of California, there's a fish called the grunion.

And they'll do something called a grunion run.

And they'll basically flop themselves, like hundreds of thousands of them on the beach.
