This homeless character, who doesn't go to the gym and survives on junk food, somehow weights 300lbs of pure muscle

Yeah Reacher is just fantasy. He eats like a pig, never has access to a shower and he is built like Mr Universe.
This comment from another post:
The same goes for Reacher, even the books. They're great, easy and fun to read, but if you start thinking about it like that something has already gone wrong.
Even so, I have to say that the books concentrate more on him just being really tall without being thin. And trained both mentally and physically, but never just muscled.
He does have access to a shower. He stays at motels mostly and very rarely sleeps outside.
There’s no explanation for that body though as he definitely never goes to a gym.
I'll have you know that Reacher cannot help his overactive steroid gland!
Um guys come on it is simple. he lives at the gym between seasons.
The books have one or two references to him working as a labourer or other jobs between books.
Labor jobs don't make you look like that. They make you hunched over and limping and kinda fat looking. Also an alcoholic
Source: worked labor in my early years and finally decided to quit just as the hunch started to develop
Sorry to burst your bubble, but those don't work without a lot of gym time.
If you're on the juice, but don't put in the work, your body just gets weird.
Damn, I never knew Mr. Universe had all that hiding under his shirt!
He killed me with a sword. How weird is that?
I am a leaf on the wind
Always too soon.
