There's no way i'm getting that many calories a day, and I don't think it's even possible for me to eat that much. I'm probably getting maybe 2,500 calories/day. Maybe.
The problem with me is I just don't know what else to eat. I may have to take a good look at my diet and see what else I can add. because I know there are certain points in my day in which i'm hungry, but I can't cook 6 meals a day. We all have stuff to do and work to go to. That's why most of my 5 or 6 meals are prepared ahead of time or are things that can be stored or made easily.

Sorry, I didn't even try that calculator before I posted it. That's totally overboard. I've edited my original post.
Try using the Harris-Benedict equation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris-Benedict_equation:
BMR = 66 + ( 13.7 x weight in kg ) + ( 5 x height in cm ) - ( 6.76 x age in years )
BMR x you activity factor
and add or subtract calories depending on your goal.
I hear you on eating the amount of food in that many meals is tough. It took me quite a while to get used to it, for sure. I pre-make almost everything the night before.
