Do you think he seriously eats that much? Or just including extra meals for social media?
I saw this on /r/all, I'm not a regular here. But just to give context,
my TDEE is ~4300. I'm a large man, and I'm more active than 95% of the population.
One of my meals is probably equal to (or more than) what you eat in a day.
I say this to say that in
my personal experience, what you described is not an unreasonable amount of food.
My wife is much smaller than I am, both in height and muscle mass.
Her TDEE is ~1750, so on an average day, she eats literally less than half what I eat (she
will eat a whole pie on Holidays though, haha).
For breakfast today, I had 3 biscuits
smothered in sausage gravy (~12oz of gravy), 3 pieces of deep fried chicken, 3 scrambled eggs (with cheese) and a decent portion of hash browns.
My wife had 1 biscuit, buttered (no gravy), one piece of air-fried chicken, 2 egg
whites (no cheese), and no hash browns.
I'm currently trying to put on another 20-25 pounds, while she is trying to lose 5-10 more pounds from a (relatively) recent pregnancy.
