I actually weigh 350ish at 6'1". I'm all torso, my inseam is only like 29". My current daily calorie intake is between 3500-4000 cals. It's generally between 28%F 32%C 40%P - 33%F 33%C 34%P.
Bodyfat is probably 28-30% which is why I'm trying I'm dieting now. I at one point a few years ago I was 450lb and I dropped 120lbs pretty much on starvation diet. After that it took a while to fix my diet and I started lifting some. I was down to 306 doing the 52 day challenge at Men's health a bit over a year ago. I got frustrated with the weight loss so decided to focus on strength. That over the last year got me up to the 350ish area I'm at today but probably was probably 1/3-1/2 fat gain rather than just muscle. So I'm back on a strict diet trying to lose the fat without any muscle loss. Seems to be working although I've not really lost any weight but I can tell I'm losing some fat.

I'm an aspiring amateur strongman although my lifts aren't strong enough to compete in the SHW class yet. I did get second place in the Conan's Wheel event at the contest I did May 1st. I'm training 3 times a week with a focus on strongman.

Oh yeah the chicken is Kirkland Signature from Costco(Like Sam's Club) and run's $10.50 for a 6 pack.
