The bread thread was awesome, who was it again that was arguing for 5 slices being 100% fat?

Mattheman if i remember correctly

Theres around 1.5% of fat per slice there around 30 slices in a loaf of bread.
100g has around 4% fat, 800g loaf of bread has 30-40% fat.

I's go with a chicken zinger tower burger meal... 1200+ calories each but chicken is better for you!

I still think 26 cheeseburgers will be better for you than 26 zinger tower burgers though

No way.
Adam Richman is a food fanatic who has held nearly every job in the restaurant biz. Now he's on a mouth watering journey to find America's greatest pig out spots and take on the country's most legendary eating challenges. He's no competitive eater, just a regular guy with a serious appetite. It is his ultimate hunger quest. It is Man vs Food.

And you want to eat 26 McDonalds saver cheeseburgers?

If you think about what he's saying it actually makes sense. He's not saying that the more bread you have the more fat there is per part, he was referring to our recommended daily intake. He was saying that if one slice of bread is 1.5% of your intake of fat, then a whole loaf is 100%. Or something.

Or at least that's what he changed his argument to after realising he was being silly. I don't care really

Please tell me you rolled that out from memory

I don't even think I could get past the first stage, which is going into McDonalds and asking for 26 cheeseburgers :eek:

.

It could probably be done. Although I was pretty full after eating 4 bigmacs and 2 double cheeseburgers and then felt sick all day.

5 per hour...

Quite some going.

Skeeter · 23 Apr 2012 at 16:11

Just to put this in scope as the burgers on their own look really small, 26 McDonalds cheeseburgers weighs in total almost 3kg!

That is the most pathetic compromise for being too much of a pussy to run a marathon I have ever heard.

Craig R · 23 Apr 2012 at 16:18

Could you not find something better to gorge on than scaffy muck like McDonalds cheese burgers?

I think most people who read it knew what he meant its just that it was said in such a stupid way and GD being what GD is........

I did the cheesburger challenge with some friends a few years ago which involved eating 17 McDonalds cheeseburgers. Took around 3 hours and I felt ill for a week afterwards.

The meat sweats and horrendous dehydration made me not want to eat another burger for a very very long time!

Lol, not really. This suggestion came after I had already passed on the chance to run the marathon based on the fact I'm fat and lazy.

PiKe · 23 Apr 2012 at 16:23

You'll fail at either choice, so for the sake of not putting all that **** in my body, I'd rather attempt the marathon.

I must admit, I really starting to regret agreeing where you declined.
