I have toyed with the idea of doing the Tim Ferriss geek to freak weight gain plan for a long time, but I have never actually committed myself to doing the eating required to get there. This week will be different.

I worked out last night, and ate a nice large meal of grass fed beef and some whole wheat pasta afterward, and starting today I intend to take things to the next level. Over the next 7 days, I am going to blog exactly what I ate over the course of the day. I weighed 143 lbs yesterday, which at 6’2” is very skinny. Here’s today’s consumption:

1/20

• Iso Pure low carb whey protein shake with 2 scoops of protein, about 1.5 tbspn grass fed butter, 3 oz coconut milk (560 calories, 53g protein, 37g fat)
• 15 Oz Ribeye (grass fed) with the majority of the grizzle removed (900 calories, 0g carb, 100g protein, 55g fat)
• ½ a chicken, about 1 lbs, with about 1.5 tbspn grass fed butter (850 calories, 85g protein, 55g fat)
• 2 double hamburgers from Shake Shack, each with 2 packets of Heinz Ketchup (1240 calories, 85g carb, 125g protein, 45g fat)
• 6 vegetable fed free range organic eggs fried in butter (420 calories, 6g carb, 36g protein, 27g fat)
• Protein shake (220 calories, 3g carb, 50g protein, 1g fat)

Tm Ferriss ate 8,000 calories a day when he put that weight on, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how. This is only 4190 calories! I guess he wasn’t kidding when he said that eating that much was a “full time job.”
