Swapping red meat for herring, sardines and anchovies could save 750,000 lives, study suggests

Hey Gman! My current diet (mass gaining phase) is 4500 calories per day. 303g protein, 434g carbs (I rarely reach this number. Any carb other than those in milk or fruit turn my guts to knots and give me horrible gas), 172g fat.

The core of my diet each day is:
-2 cups coffee with 25g heavy whipping cream per cup.
-6 eggs
-Protein shake @ 50g pro
-~220g cooked chicken breast
-Sweet potato or brown rice (these carbs don’t mangle my insides)
-Pre-Workout PB&J
-Post Workout Protein shake
-~220g chicken breast
-Sweet potato or brown rice.
-Other calories come from eating a meal with family.

The diet is working for my goals. The constant weighing and tracking is tedious, but if I don’t, then my results are just as haphazard. I have a near constant “distended stomach” feeling from the sheer amount of food and my body is beginning to induce nausea when I think about having to eat again to reach my calorie goal. Adding in a mass gainer shake to sub out some solid food to see if it helps.

In my profile pic, I was about 3 months into carnivore and felt like a million bucks in that picture, lol. I was 170lbs at the time and I’m now a pretty solid 203lbs as of this morning.
There is an old saying "My eyes were bigger than my stomach" meaning I thought I could eat a kettle full of soup today but could only eat three bowls before getting "full."
It seems you are overloading your digestive system and it is letting you know by producing nausea to keep you from adding more. Undigested carbs and even protein will ferment in the gut and create gas and/or diarrhea as the gut wants to clear out the debris and gas. You are eating like a Mr. Olympia in training. Those guys, and I used to train but not for Olympia, cut back in the off-season or they balloon up right after the contest. Once you are near your goals, you have to revise the diet and keep up some exericse or the extra calories, even protein calories, will turn to fat for storage. Its the volume of food right now which is way too high if you have fullness all the time. Also, lookk up gastroparesis.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
