just curious. if you ingested 6000 calories in 1 day. clearly this would cause you to gain weight, right? therefore it must be "junk food". also, by itself it's lacking many vital nutrients.

:huh:

    If you could keep all that kale down without throwing up/ crapping your pants you deserve a medal.

    I have no desire... I'd rather eat moderate amounts of real food in an appropriate calorie range with a bit of "real" junk food thrown in for my guilty pleasure. I throw a bit of kale in a smoothie to up my nutrition, as I like a broad range of foods in my diet, but there's no way I'd eat obscene amounts of it to the exclusion of all other junk food! :)

    Why would you subject yourself to such torture? Replace the Kale with bacon and you will be the happiest human alive.

    I would guess that even if it were possible that that much kale (and that much of a lot of nutrient rich fruits and veggies) would be many times more dangerous than 6000 cals of "junk food", especially on a daily basis.

    If I ingested 6 thousand calories of kale in one day I would die from an overload of nastiness.

    INCORRECT! If you burn 6,000 calories a day (my son is a swimmer and has 3% bodyfat) you WOULD NOT gain weight. In fact its very possible he would LOSE weight off 6,000 calories so he has to eat more!

    So umm! Oooooh I OWNED U!!

    Hmm, never heard anyone use calories to define "junk food" before. But, then I've also never heard anyone expect a food to be the single supplier of every nutrient needed in order not to be called "junk food".

    I was wondering how on earth you were going to manage to eat that.

    But I did find someone who can eat 6000+ calories of kale in a day.

    Either diarrhea or constipation... not sure which.

    Since diarrhea is one potential symptom of constipation, you could very well end up with both.
