I would need to see the research to believe that. You have to try to eat that many calories a day. Even in caloric dense food

I know performing manual labor for 14-18 hours a day requires a shite ton of calories but there are still people doing that and I doubt they're eating 9k calories a day. People in medieval times didn't have fundamentally different bodies than ours.

Viking farmers and inuits often ate even more.
You want to look up a really scary number, fiber consumption.
Northern farmers ate 150-200 grams of fiber per day.
