- swaggadocio, on 08/20/2008, -7/+51@athlonmj: I'm glad I'm not like this, this poor guys quality of life has been markedly impinged by this syndrome.
- ani-pockdotnet, on 10/12/2007, -6/+40let's not forget what goes in, comes out (eventually)
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Yep. Some people just are stupid. Apparently athlonmj doesn't understand the concept of being dangerously underweight. "If only we were all like this?" Here's an idea, instead of stuffing your faces with McDonald's everyday, try getting out and exercising a bit.
- lukas88, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24As a poor student and an athlete, I am having a hellova time affording the 3000+ calories a day that i need.
- anamanaman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Programmers have to get by with only 2000 calories a day or we get FAT. I need some exercise.
- diggtard, on 10/12/2007, -7/+27at least he's got a huge ***** mouth
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19@draegloth: He needs to eat 6500 calories per day. As The_Wallbanger pointed out, if he doesn't watch where those calories come from he could get a heart attack, or high blood pressure/cholesterol. Exercising/riding a bike helps keep that at bay, or in all he wouldn't live past the age of 40.
- Phyltre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Something tells me having to eat 6,500 calories of food a day (and not having a heart attack after one year) would become a huge hassle after awhile.
For him, eating is probably a chore. - dietprozac, on 10/12/2007, -13/+30Great! I've been looking for a way to fuel my starship!
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17High calorie foods aren't expensive. Cook food with butter and butter up your toast (don't use margerine, it's unhealthy), avocados have LOTS of calories (50% more than bananas), brussels sprouts are very cheap and are packed with calories, yams are good, use whole wheat bread (healthier too), dried milk is excellent, most nuts (except chesnuts and pistachios), cream and cheddar cheese (cheese + eggs = nice), etc.
Just buy smart and you'll be fine. Look up prices, note them down. Go to the supermarket, find those items and check their prices and labels (if you can, ie. you can't with fruits). Then buy what's best. Mix it up once in a while so you don't get sick of eating the same crap.
And you can get protein powder, tastes like crap ("chocolate" my ass), but they're somewhat decent. - soogy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17"Maybe if he didn't bike every where and workout every day he'd be able to gain some weight..."
Oh, good advice. "Become a lazy slob." Why aren't you a doctor? Obviously you also missed the part that notes his STOMACH CONDITION. Some people also have a fast metabolism, which, even without exercising, causes them to have to eat more than the average Joe. - Durrok, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12One word: Ramen
Has some nutritional value, right? :p - The_Wallbanger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11He has to really watch what kind of foods those calories are coming from. If you eat twice the normal rate of high-cholesterol foods, you'd be asking for it. Probably dead with heart disease by age 35.
- imightbewrong, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12he must be in the bathroom all day long!!
- DrEbola, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Me too. I guess I eat a lot of peanut butter bread and drink protein shakes. What do you do?
- ErrandboyOfDoom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9In the alternative, this guy might consider smoking something to keep his appetite up.
- Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I wouldn't call it wasteful when he needs that much to survive. Wasteful is us overweight Americans who eat that much just for the heck of it.
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7"If you took up smoking, you wouldn't have to eat so much, Fatty ;)"
Yeah, you're right... Hey, he should do Meth and Crack too! That'll really keep his weight down. - ictoan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6sometimes calories are not portional to the amount of food you eat. food can be small but still maintain high calories. So uhm, he probably ***** the same as everyone else. And if he does go to the bathroom more, who cares!
Personally, this guy is pretty cool to still be optimistic and make his life as normal as possible with all these health problems he have. - samk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Sorry, I meant no offense.
But I think it's accurate to say that skinny guys want to gain muscle mass and not body fat. They don't appreciate that many "normal" guys can have over 15% body fat.
If you eat a lot of protein, you're not going to get the muscle mass without doing a huge amount of exercise, as you did. Most skinny guys don't do that. Instead, they just eat lots of meat and wonder why they don't gain weight. It's because they're on the Atkins diet. - syko21, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7What good is the food to feed the fifty people if its been tainted with the blood of one man?
PS. That comment was disgusting, I hope you rot in the deepest pits of the netherworld your religion believes in. - Goosemaster, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7I bet people in hollywood would pay good money at a chance to disect the poor little bastard to find out his secret
- lysdexic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@draegloth:
His goal is to gain weight. Taking in protein and exercising builds lean muscle mass. Muscle mass weighs four times as much as fat. Therefore, the more muscle mass he puts on, the greater his weight will be. His eating and exercise plan is sound. - k0w0y, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4it sounds like he has a problem absorbing nutrients/calories, especially if he has a lot of ulcers. This would cause a lot of diarrhea and output for sure, as well as a lot of pain.. It's amazing that he can eat so much food with all the painful ulcers in his esophagus.
So no, no one should want this. - iMatt711, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4amen
- Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I don't know about the poster of this article, but I certainly wouldn't want to share this guy's condition. Almost everyone would like to be able to eat more without gaining weight, but we are talking like 5 or 6 thanksgiving suppers a day! Would you all really want to eat THAT much? You could also think of it as 10 McDonalds quarter pounders, or 6 jumbo plates from someplace like TGIF or Chili's. For someone who eats 1500 calories a day, eating 6000 is pretty unimaginable.
- j0se, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Weight gainer. Thats all I need to say 2500 calories in a cup. Two of those a day and you are set.
- aThing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Imagine how expensive all that food would be.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5yeah, yeah... just seems that burning all those extra calories working out and bike riding daily is just going to increase the amount he'll need to consume. I understand that this is a stomach condition, and that his quality of life is already impacted. I suppose adding the 4-500 extra calories he might be burning with all that activity is really not all that much in the grand scheme.. that's like half a BK breakfast sandwich..
- l0g1c, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This man is living everyone fat person's dream: eat as much as you want and not gain a pound. Can you imagine what would happen if he and the Half-Ton Man joined forces?
- Badblake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It kind of sounds like the problem the guy had in the movie Thinner. Minus the whole gypsy curse thing.
- Xinareiaz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4dang...im horible at posting stuff....
- airship, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Interestingly enough, I also have to consume 6500 calories a day to maintain my weight: 450 lbs.
- Galaxion, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7elnerdo: So, what are you proposing... some sort of 'Final Solution' to clinically underweight people??
Wacko. - signal15, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4When I was about 19 I weighed about 135 and ate around 4000 calories a day. Only after I increased my intake to around 6000 calories a day was I able to gain weight.
The weird thing is, back then I didn't care what kind of food it was, so most of it was super fatty (like a couple cans of corned beef hash a day). Strangely enough, I didn't get fat at all, and never have been. I can't keep weight on unless I lift weights like crazy, and when I stop, I lose the weight pretty quickly. At one point I was up to 195, and dropped down to 165 in only 3 months. Ate the same, just worked out less.
Eating a ton of healthy calories is expensive, and it's a pain in the ass. - IanAction, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Apparently you don't live in America, where the average person eats this much anyway.
- ByteGuerilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@bennop, varying metabolisms are not rare. I know quite a few people with such varying metabolisms that some have to keep drinking water and eating quite often to give themselves the energy to get through the day, and yet they don't put on a pound, whilst others eat nowhere near as much but their weight doesn't drop. From your term of references towards overweight people, I wouldn't be surprised if your ignorance is borne of a pride for the fact that you have it so easy.
- Xinareiaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2HAHAHA! yeah...ive heard that too...."I'll break you!"
- pyrix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Finally! A practical use for the culinary atrocity known as the Hungry Man Big Breakfast! http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0744/
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@samk
Of course, because we all know that it's you, not the people that actually HAVE the condition that are the expert. All of his doctors must be wrong. Thank you for helping out. I think I'll mail him your advice. - diggtard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm not clear on whether he isn't absorbing the food from the digestive track or he just has an incredibly high metabolism. If it's the latter wouldn't that mean that all the fats and other crap associated with so many calories a day are passing through is arteries?? .....
- Galaxion, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6It's really nice to be in between this guy and 'normal' people ya know. Being able to eat anything one wants, a full diet, whilst keeping a constant weight of around 120lbs (for someone who's 5'9). I can eat doughnuts all day long if I so desire (although I wouldn't, it's rediculously unhealthy) and laugh at passing overweight people...
muahahaha. Mod me down then, to make up for ya'll pudgy inadequacies. - SonofMaug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2for those interested in LEARNING something: http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/digestive/pyloric_stenosis.html
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Rename title: "Mom shops for 22 year old son."
- Books, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Two things:
1) My name is Ramen...so ya
2) athlonmj: That's a horrible thing to say. "If only we were all like this". That would be like saying: 'Man, I wish I were in a wheelchair, I am so tired.' - Jeebugorn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@ galaxion
i hear ya. back when i was in the army...we would all stop at the store every morning on the way to our range and i would always get at least 2 doughnuts and 2 cokes....and alot of other junk food........in addition to my real food to eat for the day. everyone joked about my doughnuts and cokes....but were all jealous because i didnt gain a pound - mv10, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Obviously its a horrible thing but id love to be forced to eat that much
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7LOL greatest comment; I didn't look at the article yet when I read that, and I expected a big mouth... but not like THAT!
- drizek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3you dont need to be disabled to buy a segway...
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Holy crap, I live in Canada, which is only only one country north!
