If you are really 500 lbs you will absolutely lose weight eating 3000 kcal a day, even if those kcal are donuts. The health impact of carrying that much weight is way worse than not eating a perfectly balanced and healthy diet.

You'd be surprised, I was 450+ (maxed out the scale) last year. An average day without exercising, sitting in my truck for 6-8 hours and walking less than 5k steps burned roughly 4k calories a day.

Not surprised at all. At those weights the energy expenditure just to maintain that size is crazy.
