What would a person have to eat to weigh 700+lbs?

I heard someone that I know talking about a 700lb woman trying to lose weight. I have always been a calorie counter, I count calories even if I’m not trying to lose a couple of pounds, it is just a habit at this point. I was trying to imagine how many calories a person would have to eat a day to weigh 700lbs, and I have to guess it is around 5000 calories a day. (I have to assume at that weight, they are sedentary.)
I can’t even fathom what a person could eat from day to day in order to consume that many calories.

So my question to Fluther is: Can you come up with a sample menu that would equal at least 5000 calories consumed in one day?

Preferably something at least semi-realistic. Saying “15 whole large pizzas” is obviously going to be more than plenty, but I’m curious to see actual meals as a person might eat them.
