So if you're struggling to eat enough, eat earlier and eat calorically dense foods.

And try to front load your calories earlier on in the day so you're not force feeding at night.

I have some friends who are trying to gain weight and be in a caloric surplus.

And they might eat a small breakfast and a small lunch.

And they'll text me and be like, I got to eat 1800 calories before I go to bed tonight.

And it's 7 p.m.

I'm like, brother, you're just setting yourself up for failure.

You're going to force feed.

You're going to be really full and uncomfortable.

You're probably not going to sleep really well.

And you're setting yourself up for failure.

So front load those calories earlier on in the day.

Choose, like I said, calorically dense options so you can have a plan and ensure you're hitting your goals consistently day in and day out.

But right now, like I've said, my focus, my goal is

is to put on size, strength, build muscle, especially coming off of Ironman prep.

And for me to do that, I know I need to be in a caloric surplus.

It's going to help me build.

It's going to help me recover.

It's going to help my sleep.

It's going to make me feel better, give me the energy.
