So imagine your GI tract as 3 buckets with funnels at the bottom of each one:
Their jobs are:
Macros works because that's simply how physics works...if you want to grow in the best & most efficienct way possible, then you need to feed your body the required macronutrients. If you don't, you will get slower & sub-par results. There's no magic in it; it's just science. If you limit yourself to 100 grams of protein per day, then you are under-feeding your body for muscle growth. You're obviously free to do whatever you want, but we have all of the science & results to support the data - all that's left for you to do is figure out a game plan for feeding yourself your numbers every day!
3,000 calories may sound like a lot, but if you're exercising daily & getting enough sleep every night, you'll have quite an appetite! Plus, you can split it up into say 6 smaller meals & snacks, scattered throughout the day, so you could do like 500 calories per meal with 30 grams of protein per meal. Keep in ind that 30 grams of protein is like, a single protein shake. Vega's chocolate vegan protein powder is 30 grams per scoop, so you'd only need a single scoop to hit your protein number for say a mid-morning protein shake snack:
Blend that up with some fruit to boost the carb count & some avocado or nut butters to boost the fat count & you've got yourself an easy meal that hits your personal macros. For a mid-afternoon snack, grab a couple off-the-shelf protein bars at 15g each for a total of 30g of protein:
So not as bad as you think, right? It's not like you have to sit there & eat 3,000 calories in one sitting or anything, you can split it up! If you're getting enough sleep, exercising daily or against a workout plan or at least consistently, and eating according to your macros (based on the actual, realistic amount of exercise you put into the calculator), then it will become pretty easy to go through that many calories within just a few weeks of adjusting your stomach & body to that kind of caloric intake level.
As this is a raw vegan subreddit, you could also find natural sources of plant-based proteins, carbs, and fats that don't require any cooking. It all depends on what your goals are: do you want to take advantage of known science to meet your goals in the best way possible, and if so, what's your plan for achieving those daily macros? Vegan, raw vegan, omnivore? Packaged foods, homemade foods, or a combination? There are lots of options available; the key is to nail down a specific path that works for you & then get started on it. That's why Arnold got so famous...so few people actually make a simple plan & follow through on it that it's totally amazing when somebody actually does that, haha!

I did the math (pictured) and I'm not even getting a quarter of my wanted caloric intake (3.5k+). I'm 170 and slender, trying to get huge gains, and I workout daily but I also notice I get hungry A LOT. I told myself I'd change and I'm seeing it not as easy as powder + water.
