How Would You Eat 4000+ Calories A Day?

You'll need to have seconds. Also probably thirds.

LeBron James is 6'8" and weighs 250 pounds. And his job is basically to be strong, fast, and powerful.

In fact, it's kind of his job to be stronger, faster, and more powerful than all the other elite athletes he competes against. Getting ridiculously fit means a ridiculous amount of working out and an amount of food that can fuel all that effort. (It's no secret that James loves a hardcore workout.)

We don't know what James actually eats, but knowing his height, weight, age, and activity level, we can guess at about how many calories he has to eat per day to maintain his weight.

Online calorie calculators really only offer an estimate of your actual caloric needs (you can read more about that here), but they're a good jumping-off point.

So, let's say James eats about 4,300 calories per day. How would you, a not-professional athlete, eat those calories?

All calorie counts are from the USDA National Nutrient Database unless a brand name or restaurant is mentioned. Nutritional info for brand name and restaurant items are from those brands'/restaurants' websites.
