Food during BEAST

[FØB Zero]

How often do cadets eat during beast? Most cadets lose weight so what factors in to this? Are the eating times very rushed or is there less food given or is it simply a combination of extreme exercise and stress?
Is that weight often gained back during the academic year?

Any weight loss during Beast is usually do to greatly increased activity, not lack of food. There is plenty of food at the three standard meals, but not much time or opportunity to binge eat between meals - no late night pizza deliveries or doughnut runs. Most achieve a healthier weight than when they reported on R Day. There are exceptions, of course.

The academic year provides plenty of caloric alternatives.

I gained 30 lbs of well-needed muscle during Beast. I think that was the first time I had full, nutritious meals on a regular basis.

Woah 30 lbs of muscle is insane especially in 2.5 months. Did you get to lift at the gym or something? Cardio would make one lose weight I assume..

It is required and highly regulated for you to be fed. Don't worry about it.

Yea sounds like it was an exaggeration I dont think like 10 lbs of muscle in 2 months is possible never mind 30

Perhaps, it was Beast and First Semester, I did gain 30 lbs my plebe year. I was borderline underweight going in.
