Best I can tell you is when I was holding 35-40 hours a week (bought a house but wrecked my body) I would go to the sandwich shop and look at the menu in order to eat what ever had to most calories. 2400 in one sitting easily. I was hitting 4-5k a day and maintaining weight.
I’ve cot a pretty mobile and active style of holding pads too, im basically sparring and directing my fighter at the same time:
More meals makes sense. That’s a good call
Haha dude you are effectively sparring with everyone as a full time job. When I have tried to gain weight I have had success by getting atleast 4 meals in a day of good quality protein and never being scared of carbs/fat. I also was drinking 2-3 glasses of wine a night, but I don't recommend that. I respond pretty well to creatine also. I ran out recently and I have dropped 4-5 kg(lbs are stupid, but about 10lbs ) in 4 weeks whilst eating whatever I want.
I find huge meals never worked for me. I need large, but reasonable 700-1000 calorie meals, but atleast 4 of them. Then add some junk around that (icecream is my go to) and I would steadily gain weight.
