But the dude shoves Hardee's breakfast burritos down 2-3 at a time every morning if that says anything.

A lot of people think that if you are training for a marathon you can eat as much as you want of whatever you want. It just isn't the case.
I weigh 167 pounds. Using the "3500 calories burned = 1 pound of weight lost" rule of thumb, running a marathon would equate to me losing almost exactly one pound of actual weight (excluding the 5-10 pounds of water weight).
