How many calories do powerlifters eat?

I know they eat around 7000-8000 calories a day, but what are their macros? I know it's high protein, but do they go over 2 grams per lb of weight? And generally, it's alot of carbs and fats, but what are the exact macronutrient numbers?

High protein, the only thing we actually count, the rest we don't care to know.

Ohh, is it 2 grams per lb of weight or is it more?

As long as it's around 500-600 grams or sometimes more...
