Just for fun i figured out the caloric intake for Joey Chestnut's 62 hot dogs eaten yesterday using the MFP database. He won the contest for the 5th straight year, but over 18000 calories in 10 minutes is unreal!!

    I can't even imagine what kind of toll he puts on his digestive system from all that.

    i thought u had discovered an exercise that burns that many calories in 10 minutes!

    but.. why would someone do that to themselves on purpose?
    did he win alot of money or something?

    Hey , we cant judge. We are all here for different reasons, but the main one is because we have FAT we no longer want.. This guy just hasnt wanted it yet.. And I bet he had a BLAST doing it! GO JOE!

    I'm quite sure the body isn't 100% efficient in absorbing calories, but I haven't tried searching to see if someone has actually figured it out. But yes, I'm sure he still managed to gain a pound or two.

    I don't know what the guy's weight or bmi or any of that is, but he certainly doesn't look overweight. Neither was Kobyashi, the previous champion.

    Does the thought of eating that many weiners at once turn my stomach? Yeah, but it's not my gig.

    I will, however, be entering a haggis eating contest in September. I have no plans on winning. I'm just doing it because I've always wanted to try haggis, and I get a tshirt for entering. Two birds, one stone. :wink: And my Celtic Classic Haggis Eating Contest t-shirt will be worn with as much pride as my Warrior Dash tee.

    That seriously makes me want to....:sick: . Not so sure that the money would be worth it. I guess it depends on how bad you needed it.

    It'd take a WHOLE lot more than ten grand to get me to eat that much, even if I could. Barf me out the door.
