It depends a little on what you choose to eat. Hitting my calorie goals would be easy if I ate fast food, but I'm trying to bulk while avoiding refined carbs and keeping my fruit & vegetable intake up. There's a volume challenge - 5,000kcal is only 1.5lb of butter, but 32lb of broccoli. There's also a mechanical challenge- chewing constantly (e.g. when eating lots of vegetables) is emotionally exhausting. I do acknowledge it's possible there are people out there for whom there is simply no greater joy than eating, who would eat nonstop with joy. But, not everyone is like that.
