Nomad:
Actually the question came to my mind after reading about IGF in Thalassaemics
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25408860/
Of course kids in adolescence and diabetics have a special requirement but what about grownup Thalassaemics in , let's say, normal condition?

Dear Nomad,

4000kcal is a lot. These are target calories in bulking (gaining weight) season for bodybuilders, with 200lbs+ bodyweight and around 6ft high, who eat 6-7 meals a day. That's a huge challenge in itself to eat that much quality food that would total upto that much calories. What I sense here is perhaps what you heard/read was kJ i.e Kilo Joules instead of Kcal, which is almost 4 times more a figure than Kcal. I am thal major and I eat to gain quality weight by eating 3500+ quality calories in 4-6 sessions and I know of no other thal major who eat that much food.
