Yes. (to clarify, it's a surplus of 2700-2800 calories, so closer to 5-6000)

That’s insane. So putting on real muscle is actually quite difficult

Yes. (to clarify, it's a surplus of 2700-2800 calories, so closer to 5-6000)

In a day yea, ~300-500 calories. But it adds up (though not all of it gets turned into muscle obv)
