If you've shortened the gaps between meals you are going to be constantly spiking the metabolism as small meals or any meals to often will give it a spike and with the added EQ which is known for giving an effect of making someone hungry you are going to constantly feeling out for food..
As long as your food is clean and balanced then I can't really see there being a problem.

May be try larger meals and a longer duration between them, it will take a week or so but this should slow your metabolism down a bit.

Don't use to many shakes as meal replacement as that's not really going to help...shake in the morning when your body is catabolic for fasting during sleep and a shake after training ...as your body will again be catabolic from training any other time then real food

I use/used eq for the extreme stamina it gives me while lifting. Its not uncommon for me to lift close to 2 hours while its hittin. Im naturally a hungry mofo but eq definitely intensifies that hunger!

For myself, while using eq, I take in more calories easily but fat gain is controlled by the fact that training sessions are literally marathons.

Eq is versatile. If cutting and of low bf it creates increased vascularity and tightens you up. The stamina it gives is useful for pushing through workouts on a calorie deficit Id imagine....never cut with it. Like I said I use it for lifting alone.

Id say if it effects you like it does me, increased hunger, epic lifting sessions. Dont worry too much about overeating because if you're poundin the shit outta the weight, you should be fine. Im not saying eat double cheeseburgers all day but whole healthy foods in larger amounts. If you are honestly tearing your muscles to shit, you can only benefit from more food...imo...

Well, your weight really hasn't changed so 4k calories? Are most of those powder? 4k should be putting you ahead of the curve so in fairness....no, your diet is not on point so step back.

You're 6 ft tall and trying to bulk on 4000 measly calories, lol, Ya I'd be quite hungry also BRUVA (whatever that means)

EQ never made me hungry, but if you are on a bulk I would take advantage of it and keep shoveling the food down. If you feel you are getting to fat then I would put a little cardio in the mix.

That's actually a typical (for me positive) effect of EQ. This effect usually kicks in in week 7/8. And no: You won't cut a single pound of fat as long as your calory intake is too high bro. Try not to eat too much tho. Summer is around the corner
Ps: ECA could help.
