No, he doesn't.
It's pretty much impossible to calculate EXACT calories in food you're eating, as various foods types will have variations that are slightly larger or smaller than normal, even if you're being meticulous with a food scale. You can get a pretty close margin, yes, but to definitively say "I eat exactly X calories every day" is a silly statement.
Maybe "My daily calorie target is X" or "I try to average X calories per day in my diet," but you can't be precise to the calorie.
Plus even if you could get an exact number of USDA calories (which you probably could do with hyper-processed foods) there's no guarantee that your body would extract that exact number of usable calories because that's a function of your individual digestive system and how it responds to certain inputs.
If you ate nothing but Soylent, it would be much easier than with real food. Soylent is likely pretty uniform.
