Rippetoe Questions

[Race23]

So I am a newbie in working out. I have only been lifting for a couple years, but less/more importantly, I haven't followed a strict schedule. However now that it's the summer and stuff, a friend suggested that I try out rippetoes. I looked it up and thought it was a good idea, but i had some questions about it like how do you guys do your dieting? FIrst off, 3000 calories is a ton and even then, what the hell do you eat to eat that much lol?

What are your goals?
What are your lifts?
How is your current diet?

goal is to get
175lb for bench
275lb for squat
275 for deadlift

i dont think my diet is really good right now. I just eat whatever I see xD

Give us your stats, we need those before anything is recommended. What is your history with weight training, is there one?

Bodyweight?
Height?
Max lifts?

I am 16 and I started lifting about 2-3 years ago. I am 5'3 and weigh 140lbs(not very impressive i know i have bad genes). My max lifts last I checked were 155lb for bench and squat 275 both with 1x3, but I am going to have to take a week and find out my maxes to get a more accurate idea of where I am and where I want to go as soon as I can hit the weights again and it's just been such a long time since i did deads...
