But 5000kcal would be a lot for you John surely at ~ 73kg? I'm approaching 75kg, used to probably have ~ 3000-3500 but can't be bothered nor see too much point in keeping track so long as protein is adequate. Having said that I haven't put on any size and did plateau for a while.. I'm bursting through now but this is probably because I'm at home and my mum's doing the cooking
Edit: I am training as a powerlifter
P.s. they're big lifts so having said that you probably justify that kcal requirement!
