Admittedly, I've watched Man vs. Food (where a fat guy runs around doing eating challenges like that) for motivation to avoid junk food or hit the gym occasionally. Seeing a fat guy get greasy and shove food into his mouth to the point of nausea? Noooo thank you.

I really hate Man vs Food. It's just so over the top and wasteful, especially when there are people in the world (even in the US) who struggle to get enough to eat, yet people cheer on the sheer greed in that show! I'm not one who complains if someone doesn't eat everything on their plate when eating a normal sized meal with the whole "kids in Africa are starving" line but there is a limit and Man vs Food always crosses it!

That doesn't even look tasty. It's just meat and cheese stacked on top of each other.

Yeah, it looks like 6 shitty cafeteria burgers. I'll take one Five Guys burger any day.

Damn you. I want 5 guys now and it's only 9 o clock. And I have a community service project to work on from 11 to 5 so I can't even eat lunch!

I get that its more for fun than anything but the American thing of having excess food as a "challenge" is so weird to me. It doesnt look tasty when its one of those challenge meals. Food should be enjoyed, you shouldnt feel like you're gonna shit a bowling ball after a meal.

Also available in Germany, restaurant Der Waldgeist has a renown for making it really, really big. I don't get it either. I can only imagine how nauseous I'd feel after finishing one half of that stuff.

Their normal portioned food looks quite good but those massive things... you just know that so much food is going to go to waste, its just pointless

Plus the thought of loading that much shit into your body is repulsive. All that cheese and greasy meat is definitely not good for you. Same goes for a lot of these competitive challenges. It's usually stuff that is bad for you, moreso when you're cramming excessive amounts of it into your face within a short period of time.

The thought of eating all that ... In one sitting ... gross.
[–] RainbowShyRarity 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Not just one sitting, but in one 30 minute sitting! Fucking disgusting!

Anyone feels like estimating the amount of calories in this?
It feels like it's already more than what I should eat in the entire day....
[–] la_fupacabra 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
3,348 for the meat (if each partty is 6oz and 70% lean), 678 in cheese (if it's cheddar), 150 for the bun (highest I found), 1020 for the fries (had to guess, it looks like two large McDonald's fries to me so I went with that), 5 calories for the tomato, 5 for the lettuce= 5206 calories.

I haven't got a clue but my guess would be in the neighbourhood of 3500 calories.

That Japanese guy also has some disorder where is stomach is positioned lower than normal, which he claims gives him a big edge, at least if memory serves from the short documentary on him.

I think I read somewhere that being fit allows the stomach to expand. If you're fat, the fat blocks the stomach from expanding, and thus less space for food.
[–] BettieJosbeetusfoot 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
this is in fact the case, but it's not simply that. Being able to expand your stomach takes training, and as much as fatfucks love to eat most don't have the dedication it takes to get to the top of their game in quantity or speed when it comes to competitive eating.

That sounds like thin privilage to me.
[–] Podd 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
$28 for a food challenge if you fail. Pretty cheap. Free shirt, my glorious visage on a wall next to such prominent fatties as EL Lardo, Miss Piggy, and Jabba the girl from HR. Tempting. Very tempting.

That wall is not exactly a group of people I want to have things in common with.
