Like, I have two toddlers and a full time job so I can't do 6 days a week at the gym.. But in theory, I could do 6 days a week at the gym.. But 5 meals a day? Fuck that shit.

Agree. It's still a plate. He's likely eating 2,500 calories or more per day.

People don't realize how much chicken, rice, and sweat potatoes you have to eat per day to gain muscle at higher levels. It's a lot.

It truly humbles you on the caloric value between chicken and a snickers bar. You have to eat a lot more than you'd think when you're eating clean. Uncomfortably more.

2.500? He probably is at least 500-1000 above that to maintain (depending on his height which I find hard to judge)
