I need about 3k calories to maintain my weight and muscle mass. To gain muscle / weight, I need around 3.5k - 4k.
My diet is generally nutrient-dense, overall.
Lately, I've been drinking more and more coffee, Red Bull, table sugar. Been taking B-vitamins, sometimes Aspirin. My understanding is that all these substances require greater demands on caloric intake, vitamins, minerals.
I've been lazy with my intake. Eating is like a job to me. Some days, I'd slack and eat 2.7k calories or so.
High-dose coffee is hit or miss for me. I often feel the jittery / cortisol effect from it, but it does support my mental mood, that's crucial for me.
My question is what happens when you're on high-dose coffee / energy drinks without being in a hyper-caloric state?
Example:
My hair health undeniably improved at the beginning of Peating, when I was taking 500mg - 1g Aspirin daily.
Reduced / dropped the Aspirin, started taking more stimulants, and my hairline seemed to have gotten a bit worse. You guys think it's related?
