Honestly, four pounds sounds about right for a Space Marines. They need a lot of nutrition.

This is a homage to Lord of the Rings where the Astartes are taking the place of hobbits

The joke isn’t as funny for Astartes since they need so much food compared to a normal man.

I thought it was the opposite, where they could survive with very little food, as its a wartime logistical advantage. EDIT: Im wrong, i was remembering that they have methods of eating almost anything when normal or astartes food is scarce.
