4,000 Calorie Diet Plan – 2023 (.pdf)

A Practical 4,000 Calorie Diet Plan

Eat at your own risk

I highly recommend investing in a blender!  That’s one of the easiest ways to get more calories without eating any rubbish. Blend bananas, avocados, hemp seeds, fruit, a bit of kale etc.

Easy Sources of Calories

  • Nuts like pecans are great
  • Full fat milk
  • Coconut milk (not the watered down cartons though)
  • Avocados
  • Smoothies with peanut butter, bananas and olive oil in them
  • Flapjacks
  • Overnight Oats with honey & peanut butter
  • Maltodextrin powder (high in calories but also very processed)

For work I personally make my own flapjacks/biscuits using oats, cinnamon, raisins and peanut butter.

4000 calorie diet plan

Coconut Milk is a great source of calories – but not the watered down rubbish in cartons. Look for tins that are at leat 50% coconut milk (100% coconut milk is also great, but difficult to scoop out of the tins, you can actually drink the tins that are 50% water. Cartons are typically 96% water and 3% coconut milk)
