Here's an example of what 5k calories represents:
6 eggs
8 strips of bacon
4 slices of bread, each with a half tablespoon of butter on them
16 ounces of orange juice (2 full cups)
2 Baconators
Large Wendy's fries
3 slices of pepperoni pizza
3 cans of Coke
It's an insane amount of food. To do it every day for a year is damn near inhuman. It's more likely that he's 3 bills and people just misjudge weight above a certain point because it's hard to differentiate between one obese amount and another.
That is not an insane amount of food for a fatty, it's not even a lot of food for a fatty.
I don't think he actually weights 400lbs, I haven't even seen a picture of him recently. I was just explaining how easy it is to gain 200lbs in a year if you eat like a fatty.
I eat between 3500 - 4000 calories a day without carbs which is fairly easy. Add in carbs and I could easily eat 6000+ calories a day. I'm not a fatty though.
While I agree with the numbers you gave in your example, I don't agree with the content. 3 cans of coke? The typical fatty probably consumes 2k calories a day in soda and other drinks. Where is all the snacks they consume throughout the day? 3 slices of pizza? Not for a fatty! I'm not even a fatty and could easily eat a whole pizza. Basically what I'm saying is while I agree with the calories in the food you gave, I don't think that is a typical american fatty diet.
Regardless my point wasn't to say that all fatties would gain 200lbs in a year, just that it was easy enough to do for someone with poor eating habits which I still believe to be true. There was a dude on 600lb life that gain 260lbs in 2 months, 200lbs in a year is nothing.
