You could go to extremes like some of the bodybuilders do and set your alarm
for 3am and then get up and eat 4 or so chicken breasts just to keep the
protein levels up. I have known a couple of guys who were heavily into
bodybuilding (including steroids) and the most noticeable thing about them
(apart from them being pretty huge) is that they absolutely stink!!! I
found that they couldn't sit in a room for more than a couple of minutes
without letting a "protein bomb" off from the back door!!! Yet another
argument for taking everything in moderation.

I thought the constant eating was because of their extremely low body fat,
and that this was mainly carbs, to prevent their bodies from breaking down
muscle as a fuel source (since stored fat isn't available).

I've read a description by a top bb of his daily life, and it sounds pretty
miserable. When not working out, he has to force himself to constantly
eat mountains of expensive bland stuff, he can't fit into decent clothes,
dragging his huge body around tires him out, and he can't sleep for long.
He said that he pretty much rests on the couch, watches TV and eats.
