Even I don't eat 5,000 calories a day (usually).
The problem with the Big Mac diet either way is that it lacks essential nutrients and other things such as fibre, healthy fats, and phytonutrients.
Calories are not all equal due to what they each carry or don't carry. Your body fat isn't just about burning calories; it's also about enabling your body to do the work it needs as efficiently as possible. At least when you're looking at dietary factors.
