 Silversmithing for Beginners: 5 Techniques to Get Started

Hmm... 10K calorie challenge?

 Well... the intake:

Let's take Hafþór Björnsson's diet. That's about 10.000 kcal :-D

Breakfast:
6 fried eggs, lots of bacon, french toast, and orange juice.

Second breakfast:
Rice, spinach, bison, stock, and an orange
(About 200 g meat, a cup of rice (boiled), 1 tbs butter, and 1 tbs dextrose. Yes. Sugar.)

Elevensies:
the same as 2nd breakfast

Lunch:
the same as 2nd breakfast + carrots and eggs

Afternoon tea:
the same as lunch

Dinner:
Steak and potatoes, carrots, spinach

Supper:
French fries and chicken wings

that's seven meals, and to get to 10.000, each should be about 1500

Some changes to add calories:

Change the breakfast to modified full English

6 slices of bacon, 4 fried eggs - in butter - 2 links of sausages, 1 fried tomato, 3 slices French toast, with 1 tbs orange marmalade on each, washed down with a large cup of milk tea, and a glass of orange juice

About 2000 kcal.

- pastries, the fatter the better. Lots of cream and sugar, like caramel. Chocolate. There's about 300 kcal in a croissant. Eating two croissants with filling, like bacon and cream cheese shouldn't be too hard. Wash it down with juice or a milkshake. Some 600 kcal in cookies and cream milkshake. 

So, what to do? 

It's easier to eat through 10.000 calories than to burn them. A marathon burns about 3,500 kcal. Ironman competition burns about 8.000-10.000 kcal. That's a marathon, 4k swim and 180k biking. The current record is about 8 hours for men and 9 for women. It will likely take 12 hours for an average person. 

Especially if you are eating all that stuff! 

Basically, all the aerobic exercises, like running, biking, rowing, dancing, whatever makes you sweat and breathe harder, burn calories. So - choose 12 hours of your favorite aerobic exercises. If you don't like biking, don't go biking. Just remember it's not leisurely jogging, you have to work to burn those babies. :-D

Let a search engine decide...

 

My breakfast:

Smoothie bowl

Cardio exercise: The Best Fat-Blasting Cardio Exercises You Can Do in Your Living Room

Yoga sequence: Yoga Sequence for Core Strength by Jason Crandell

Lunch: Buddha Bowl

Strength building exercises: 

Dinner: Carbonara

Afternoon stretches

supper

Frankly, I don't know what that is, except that it's plantbased and soup. I wonder if "supper" means soups here, or supper... I assume it's soups. :-D

So... carrot soup? Pumpkin soup? I think I'll make some vegan golden soup. (And then fry some bacon on it... >:->)

The progress so far

 I'm doing good with the languages 

I am struggling with the food, though. 1 kg per week weight loss is good, but I am not keeping the diet, and that bugs me. Also, the exercises aren't happening :-(

Well, well, I have the rest of my life to do this :-D

I was watching the "Eat 10.000 kcal, burn 10.000 kcal" and I'm having difficulties understanding the thinking of these guys.

Ok, so they all have problems with sleeping because they start eating at midnight - something they don't usually do - and don't get enough sleep, the sleep isn't too good (because of the unusual, huge meal at midnight), and they are tired and not rested the next day. All these guys are good at exercising, so why do they change something so important the night before something so important?

Also, they don't drink/eat the way they usually do for heavy workout days. Which causes the exercise not to go as well and easy as it should. 

They also all eat just things like junk food, pastries, and candy, so their body isn't fuelled as well as it could be. 

Now, Dwayne Johnson is said to eat about 5000 kcal every day. 

“Power Breakfast” (meal #1)

According to his Instagram, the Rock enjoys a “Power Breakfast” after he finishes his first workout of the day:

flank steak (8 ounces)

eggs (whole and egg whites)

brown rice (1.5 cups)

sautéed mushrooms, onions, and peppers

Mid-morning (meal #2)

cod (8 ounces)

sweet potato (12 ounces)

vegetables (1 cup)

Lunch (meal #3)

chicken (8 ounces)

white rice (2 cups)

vegetables (1 cup)

Mid-afternoon (meal #4)

cod (8 ounces)

white rice (2 cups)

vegetables (1 cup)

fish oil (1 tbsp.)

Late afternoon (meal #5)

steak (8 ounces)

baked potato (12 ounces)

spinach salad

First dinner (meal #6)

cod (10 ounces)

white rice (2 cups)

salad (leafy greens)

Second dinner (meal #7)

egg white omelet (10 eggs)

vegetables (1 cup)

fish oil (1 tbsp.)

whey protein (30 grams)

The Rock gets a bulk of his calories throughout the day from protein and carbohydrates and a moderate amount of fat. His diet is balanced with lots of vegetables, protein, and complex carbohydrates.

Post-workout shake

The Rock also sometimes consumes a post-workout smoothie within 10 minutes of finishing his workout.

According to his Instagram, his post-workout smoothie contains:

65–70 grams of whey protein

1 apple

30 grams of carbohydrate powder

1 scoop of electrolyte powder

creatine

water

ice

I would use this as the base for the 10.000 kcal diet, just choose the fatter alternative (like salmon instead of cod, whole eggs instead of egg whites, chicken thighs instead of breast filets), add sauces, oil, butter, add nut butter to the workout smoothie, throw in a couple of dates, spoon in coconut oil in everything, it doesn't taste much but adds calories. 

I think I'd also divide it further, eat more often, small meals, to help my stomach deal with the amount of food. 

And then I would do a variation of the Iron Man race. Apparently, swimming 4 km, biking 180 km, and running a marathon burn about 8000-10.000 kcal. :-D
