My question is two-fold: Do hardgainers really exist, or is the lack of energy intake tied to not enjoying the feeling of being uncomfortably full? Eating upwards of 3500 calories sounds awesome and I find I can stick with it for a couple of days but after that I find I'm so uncomfortable that I end up dropping calories. Any suggestions?
