    I’m honestly curious, do you snack a lot or something? Where do your calories come from?

    I looked up a few frozen pizzas you can get in my area and they are around 800-900 kcal. Assuming you eat 3/8 per meal, that’s 9/8 a day, or up to about 1000 kcal. On the basis that you average a similar amount of calories per meal and consume the usual three meals.

    The average man needs between 2000 and 3000 kcal. Woman start at 1600.

    Since I gun for at least 2800 kcal and my average breakfast is about 600 kcal, my other meals need to be ~1200 kcal (1.3-1.5 pizzas). I never eat outside of meals except for maybe once over the weekend.

      It’s a little more than the recommended serving size on the pizzas I get. And I do usually add some extra toppings and cheese to make it better. I work from home, and don’t have any particularly active hobbies, especially in the winter, so it’s definitely enough for me for one meal. And my stomach is definitely full. I can only eat a fourth piece of im really starving
