I know that some of the guys in the world's strongest man contests eat between 8000 and 10 000, and that's probably a bit too much even for them.
Eating moderately but frequently is better than eating large amounts a few times a day, if you take in the same amount of energy.
im with you on this... There is a difference between being HUGE and cut. most guys that want to get bigger tend to go on a "bulking phase" where we up our daily calorie intake to anywhere from 800 to and extra 3 thousand calories a day. Then whe you hit your desired weight you start "cutting" by dropping a few hundred calories at a time. I laugh at the guys at the gym that talk about how huge they are but they have this huge gut because they eat so much and do zero cardio.
As an example Manny Pacquiao puts in 6000 a day and Michael Phelps does about 10k a day
