Marathon vs. Food

So long as I down the last burger before the guys running the marathon cross the finish line I will consider it a victory.

My gut may disagree.
 
I've tried to eat 7 McDonalds double cheese burgers.

7 I thought, that's barely any, they're tiny anyway!

No.

Got to 5.

I'd doubt any human could eat 26 singles without suffering an untimely cheeseburger related death.
 
People saying 1 every 11 minutes is easy...yea at first it is easy but once you've eaten 15 already it won't seem very appealing.

I really can't see it happening and if it does it will no way be easy. Good luck though.
 
While you are at it could could try to beat the world record for fitting as many burgers in your mouth at the same time. I think the record stands at 3 burgers, according to the Ricky Gervais XFM shows :D.

Would the salt be in the sauce? He could ask for just the burger and bun to cut the salt down.

It might help a bit but probably more from the point of view of reducing the volume of food than for reducing the salt intake, the McDonald's buns will contain salt and probably a fair bit of it.

Apparently the below is a list of what is in a bun (or at least it was a couple of years back)
Enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid, enzymes), water, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, yeast, soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated soybean oil, contains 2% or less of the following: salt, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, wheat gluten, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, dough conditioners (sodium stearoyl lactylate, datem, ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide, mono- and diglycerides, ethoxylated monoglycerides, monocalcium phosphate, enzymes, guar gum, calcium peroxide, soy flour), calcium propionate and sodium propionate (preservatives), soy lecithin.

That's taken from http://www.naturalnews.com/030074_Happy_Meal_decompose.html so I'm making no claims about it's veracity beyond noting that they say it came direct from the McDonald's website - I've just had a quick look and they're obviously better than me at navigating the site because I couldn't find a similar breakdown.
 
I'm pretty sure the poundsaver cheeseburger is a double-cheeseburger. You might be best spending a few pence more for 26 regular cheeseburgers.

I think it's possible, and think you should try.
 
If you’re going to compete surely you should be aiming for an Olympic qualifying time, I'd say a burger every 4minutes 45 seconds should keep your pace with the Kenyans

:eek: How much does 100x chicken nuggets set you back?

over here they sell 50 piece.. well buckets, for $10.

Works out to about 2300 calories, 110g protein, 150g fat, 150g carbs, 4.5g salt.

If you didn't eat anything else all day it wouldn't be that bad actually.

100 at once i wouldn't want to try it. 100 Chic Fil-A (my favorite fast food BTW) nuggets is another story, they use actual chicken.

50 chick fil-a nuggets would come out to

1660 cals
75g fat
175g protein
70g carb
6.2g salt

You can tell the difference of ingredients from the numbers.
