Its a commonly know fact that Michael Phelps was on a 12,000kcal diet while at the 2008 olympics.
On Mark Beamounts (a skinny cyclist) documentary it said that he needed 6000kcal a day bare minimum to fuel his cycling.
I know that Chris Hoy consumes about 6000kcal a day, he weighs less than unharmed and is not trying to put on weight.
It is a commonly know fact that it is useful for somebody in the novice stage of strength training to eat well above maintenance calories. This helps fuel the rapid progression which is possible for a novice. It has been shown that adequate diet can be MORE effective than steroids for a novice.
I just suggested that Unharmed, aimed for 8000kcal (I was being boisterous by saying so too) this would help him recover from BJJ, Cycling, weight training and help him put on some Muscle mass.
