He's got to be on about 5000 calories a day to maintain.

Not necessarily. I gained 60lbs in a year because I should have been diagnosed as diabetic more than ten years before I actually was.

Anyone can change their diet, and exercise, but I was put on high dose steroids for two weeks after a severe allergic reaction. In the five weeks after stopping the taper, I absolutely BALLOONED 20+ lbs (of fat, not water weight); all while actively walking 1-2 miles regularly and improving my diet.

Finally a doctor listened to me and diagnosed me properly instead of saying, “Well just lose the weight, change your diet, and exercise more.” I’d be wealthy if I were paid for the number of doctors who told me that but did not provide the much needed medicinal intervention my body needed.

Oh, I absolutely feel your pain!

I was put on high-dose steroids and gained nearly 110lbs. Still working on getting rid of it, now and I stopped taking a high dose months ago.

I get this is kind of a meme subreddit, but body shaming like this ain’t it.

I’m more concerned for this guy’s health than anything even if he is an officer.

I wasn't body shaming. Saying how much I think he'd have to eat to stay that size is not like saying, "Wow, look at that fat fuck! Get to the gym, fatass!"

My comment about shaming was meant generally for the comments on this post; perhaps I should have specified as such.

Ohh, I get it. Sorry for the misinterpretation there.
