Lots of porridge or gruel
wasn't porridge pretty much oatmeal? You'd have to eat around 50 cooked cups of it to hit that many calories. I know whatever they were making was more calorie dense than that but I'm guessing they put a lot of fat in whatever they were eating to be able to hit that many calories.
Just wondering what 9000 calories of food in a day looked like without all the processed shite we have today.

I am pretty sure there is no real evidence to back that up. The bulk of medieval calories actually came from grains, mostly bread. To hit 7000-9000, you'd need to probably add lots of fats as well.
