What do you think diet soda was doing until the early 2000s? It was replacing fat with sugar. Sugar free sodas didn't exist until like 10 years ago.
EDIT: Actually I don't how they made soda back in the day or what contributed to the high calorie count in non diet. But sugar free soda (which is what diet soda is today) still really wasn't a thing until fairly recently.

So breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs. 3 strawberries. Diet Pepsi. Starving.
Lunch: 9oz of baked buffalo chicken. Diet Coke. Hunger gone for 10 minutes. My fat ass is hungry again.
Dinner will be 5 drumsticks and a couple diet root beers.
Snack will be a sugar free lime jello.
During the day I will drink about a gallon and a half of water.
Gym will be rep day for chest all phases.

This is my belief too, you never see thin people ordering large diet cokes. Learning how to not have everything covered in sugars and fats is necessary for staying thin and not the yoyo most people do on diets. Once you really cut back on all the heavily processed garbage out there, it becomes hard to drink/eat.
I drink like 2-3 LA Croix a day but that's due to me trying to drink less beer so that helps with the habit of having a drink after work but other than that, it's black coffee in the morning and tap water for the rest of the day.

You are going to have to suffer through some hunger to lose weight, you know. You're trying to run a calorie deficit so that, coupled with physical activity, you body consumes some fat reserves. It's going to be a matter of finding the balance between a little hundry and "I wanna fuckin' die this sucks" hungry.

And when running a deficit such that you lose weight, you will feel a little sluggish, a little irritable, and definitely not have the pop in the gym you used to. Once you power through that shit and get used to it it's no big deal, but to get to 300+lbs you've been overeating for a very long time and you're probably used to the feeling of eating in excess.

Why do you say that? It's white meat chicken and some skin.
I'm still confused about what the hell a drumstick is though because I look up recipes and they are definitely legs but you guys are making them sound like wings. Is it just that a drumstick is just the one portion of the leg without the thigh? And if it has the thigh it's an entire leg? And if it is the leg than sure it's dark meat but it's still just chicken. Albeit a little more calorie dense than breast meat.

No, that's a drumstick. It's dark meat and has a high fat to meat ratio, with full skin and very little (dark meat) meat.
I mean, they're fucking delicious but eating 5 of them for dinner should probably not be your daily dinner plan when you're trying to cut. Boneless skinless breasts would deliver more protein for the same calories.
It's also hard to quantify them. The caloric estimates for them are all over the place from 70 calories to 230, presumably depending on size.
Edit, by the way, I think the "leg" is inclusive of the drumstick. The drumstick is just the lower part.
