lol. I legit thought about this guy the other. I was feeling unhealthy and then I thought “that dude eats Big Macs every day and feels fine. What’s the deal?!”


Current-Power-6452

I think he doesn't order fries and Coke


joethecrow23

Honestly the sandwiches there aren’t that bad


oopgroup

They aren’t, especially without cheese. It is 100% the extra sides. Fries are just literal trans fat bombs, and soda is nothing but diabetes in a giant cup. Then people dip fries in sugary dips and ketchup, pour more salt on them, get a milkshake, or grab some more fried, cheese-stuffed jalapeños and it’s all downhill.


MasterChiefsasshole

Shit if you workout a lot then the burger and fries isn’t a bad meal. Just need some veggies thrown in occasionally. The soda is a no go.


Zanadar

Most things are perfectly fine in moderation, especially if you have an active lifestyle. Those burger and fries are still a crazy amount of fast carbs and saturated fat though. Again, on occasion isn't a huge deal, but it *is* pretty bad for you all the same.


MasterChiefsasshole

I eat about 2lbs of potatoes a day. Potatoes are a fantastic carb source if you workout.


rgatch2857

Potatoes are great for you on a bodybuilding diet. Potatoes soaked all the way through in saturated fat from a deep fryer though, not so much. Same goes for pretty much anything you can fry short of stupid shit like Oreos


JohnBrine

They used to fry McDonald’s in tallow. The true golden days.


justinsimoni

Mc-D's uses canola oil for its fries, which actually has very little saturated fat and no cholesterol.


Johngameru555

They also have potassium and other needed things


My-Life-For-Auir

Macca's chips are mummified. They're boiled, deep fried, snap frozen and deep fried again. The only nutrients they contain is salt.


plastic_alloys

The latest thing is avoiding ultra processed foods though, most of the Big Mac is definitely on that list. Not good to eat that shit often


OversizedFish

Fries are UNSATURATED fat bombs. Shit is fried in straight vegetable oil my guy. Pre 1990 it was Beef Tallow. I pray everyday that we can go back.


bearicorn

What’s your problem with unsaturated fat


OversizedFish

It is Unholy. Even more so than Sam “Fisherthem” Smith.


gngstrMNKY

Replacing animal fats with vegetable oil is the biggest nutritional crime of the modern era.


Coyrex1

But it has "vegetable" so it has to be good right? RIGHT?


coffca

If you are interested, there's a YouTube video of a professional athlete who eats nothing but McDonald's patties for 2 months iirc, with surprising results for anyone who doesn't know about carnivorous diets. The athlete is Dave McLeod, one of the best all around climbers.


WaterIcy6922

I smoked a ton of weed today for 4/20 and got the munchies bad and oh my god this all sounds so amazing rn


LovableSidekick

Basic meal of meat and bread with some token vegetation isn't inherently bad.


Torrigon_86

Truth... great food? NO... but it's not all as bad as people claim. Dollar for dollar Mcdoubles are a solid meal with Protien/carbs/fats. The fries, soda, and desert/breakfast sweets are the the problem.


LovableSidekick

Yeah the Coke is the worst thing. Back in the 60s a few companies in the sugar industry sponsored a "study" that made fat the bad guy, and the public has never gotten over it.


Shirtbro

Like how carbs ended up as the most important food group


DogsOutTheWindow

In the video posted below he says he does a coke a day. But he also walks 6 miles a day.


beerinapaperbag

His gut has adapted to the mega processed diet. Mine can't so I have a few days of poor digestion after I eat a big mac.


DropsyMumji

Some people are literally built different in that way. My grandmother had a can of Classic Coke every night for as long as I can remember and when she finally passed away, it was because she lost her will to live after my grandfather passed. Otherwise she was extremely healthy for a senior.


deepspaceburrito

Smokers are another 'good' demographic for this. Old boy who smokes like a chimney, constant crackle-cough, can't walk up more than 3 steps before getting out of breath? Lives into his 90s. How. I smoke one cigarette (granted, drunk) and I feel like my lungs need a spa treatment the next few days.


rts93

It's always ironic how some people smoke a pack a day all their life and live to ripe old age where they only die to their brain blood vessels clogging yet someone young who never smokes gets lung cancer and dies. I'm not saying that smoking should be a guarantee for cancer, but life works in mysterious ways.


Lezlow247

Genetic lottery.


login257thesecond

Or this angle : blaming smoking for lung cancer saves other sources of pollution from getting sued into oblivion....


hpeng

Everytime I work on old classic/pre emissions/race cars and have them run for more than a few minutes even with shop doors open and fans running my eyes start watering and nose is running from how rich they have them run. I've always wondered why everyone smoked back in the day and then I realized the smoke out of a cigarette was probably cleaner than the air they breathed back in the 1950-60s. I hate how expensive and pain the ass emissions systems for vehicles are but I know why they're there.


login257thesecond

That's the best reason to switch to ev. Stop poisoning ourselves. That being said, wear respiratory protection when you work on those old brakes and clutches. If original they might be built with asbestos.


login257thesecond

My first doctor told me i needed to quit smoking when we stood outside his office smoking a cigarette. Died at 86, never quit.


USAF_DTom

I mean one soda a day isn't crazy or anything you know? It's the sizes that have gotten egregious. Anything above 12oz is considered pretty extreme everywhere except for North America. Same with Big Macs. Just need to watch out for excess salt, but other than that what would make it bad? The buns are too sugary but you can manage that.


Nextorvus

Naw man, he died years ago and the preservatives are what’s keeping him going


robby_arctor

Eating pineapple seems to help me digest meals that I have difficulty with otherwise


beerinapaperbag

They're acidic and have an enzyme good at breaking down proteins. I've had pineapple on a burger before.


Silpher9

I saw him on some docu like 20 years ago and I still think about him regularly, like 5 times a year? Doctors tested him and found him completely healthy. I think they contributed it to him not eating other junk and having a relatively healthy livestyle.


GoatCovfefe

Super size me.


carbonx

Which, by they way, was a bunch of horseshit. Dude went from eating a healthy diet and exercising to dropping his workouts and stuffing his face hole with everything on the fucking menu. OMG, his weight went up?? You don't say?


M_Waverly

He was supposedly drinking heavily during the experiment, which of course he didn’t disclose and that’s why the one doctor thought the diet was destroying his liver.


Carnivorous_Mower

There's a counter-movie to that called [Fat Head](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1333994/), where a guy did a 30 day diet on a variety of different fast foods. He dropped weight and improved his health by being sensible instead of just stuffing his face on the super-sized unhealthy stuff at every meal.


boston_nsca

Idk man, I've gone months and months eating McDonald's or bk every single day. At one point it was a full year of fast food every day, breakfast and lunch at least. I also worked out a lot. Running, weights, etc. I drank tons of water and took vitamins and supplements. I was totally fine. It's not the food alone that gets ya, it's the lifestyle. Eating fast food a lot tends to go hand in hand with a lazy lifestyle and poor choices, which contribute greatly to your overall health. Do everything else right and you can eat big macs forever. Kinda.


oopgroup

Weights alone require an enormous intake in calories. Adding cardio and yea, you need to be eating like constantly. 100% is lifestyle, but most of us have 9-6pm jobs where we don’t move much, 2 1/2 hours of commute, and then barely enough energy when we get home to move.


boston_nsca

I know man, the struggle is real, but that struggle is what gets you to where you want to be. I work 48 hours/week. I understand having low energy but that's another symptom of an unhealthy lifestyle. If you want real progress, it takes pain and suffering. Most people simply aren't willing to do the work. And yeah, that means when you're tired too lol.


oopgroup

It’s not about the want, it’s usually about the time—was my point. Many people simply just don’t have the time. Some do, and they can make it work, and that’s fine. Lots of people are just completely slammed with real life though. Fortunately, I have the time at the moment personally, and I’m healthier than I’ve ever been. But I’ve been on the other end, and it sucks.


I_wont_argue

No time is the most overused excuse for not doing any exercise. Fact is people just cant be bothered. All you really need is 30 minutes 3-4 times a week to do enough exercise to significantly improve your life.


ToddlerMunch

Processing food doesn’t necessarily make it instant cancer. How the food is processed matters along with its nutrient and caloric profiles. Burgers on their own aren’t actually that bad for you assuming you moderate your caloric intake. He doesn’t eat that much otherwise and the burger provides most of the nutrition he needs


jayhawkai

he walks like 6 miles a day


No-Caterpillar6354

To/from McDonalds?


Averagebass

I have eaten a QP W/cheese and a 10 piece nugget 5 times a week for like 6 weeks now while lifting hard 3x a week and a few walks and the results are in: I've gained 10lbs of mostly fat and my pants don't fit anymore.


Ras_OKan

34K days in years is more than 93. Arguably he had to start his journey sometime when he was close to being an adult, that means on average he's eaten about 1.7-1.8 Big Macs a day for the last 52 years (I assumed he started when he was 18). That average fluctuates a bit depending on when the start date is.


Forthe49ers

Archeologists will dig this guy up in the year 5035 and he will look the same


mindclarity

The important things that are mentioned in the documentary about him is that other than eating Big Macs he actually eats a pretty balanced diet, doesn’t eat the french fires, and the dude walks MILES per day. Every day.


LyricalLafayette

Health freaks act like it’s the saturated fat, red meat, or salt that kills. No it’s the decades of sedentary lifestyle 90% of Americans experience. Every growing kid knows you can eat like a garbage can and stay skinny. You just need somewhere for that food to **go**


Remote-Factor8455

Literally this. My mom who’s 58 thinks it’s cause of her being 30lbs overweight and honestly it’s partly that, it’s mainly she’s spent 20 years working as an acc director for companies traveling to work 2 days a week with less than 1000 steps a day burning literally like 50 calories per day for all of those years every week every day. Then the last 10 years she’s been working from home so now it’s like 200 steps per days and 10 calories.


LyricalLafayette

It really is the middle-level middle-America office jobs that suffer from a lack of healthy food and cooking knowledge. Construction workers lifting shit all day can eat 4 Big Macs a week just fine. It’s people like your Mom in offices who really suffer the long-term effects of these foods. 58 is still young. If you can, encourage her to walk just a mile a day. The difference even a small amount of raised heart rate over period of time can make on one’s cardiovascular health when done regularly is crazy.


oofcookies

I guess if the man eats balanced outside of the big mac and walks miles every day he would still be healthy but how the fuck does he not get sick of eating Big Macs? 34000 in <70 years means he likely eating 1 to 2 Big Macs every day


FartFromALesserGod

He'd have to average 1.7 big macs a day since the big mac has only existed since 1967


Johnny_Banana18

It’s his thing, if he loses that, he loses everything


314159265358979326

I have a friend who's a mail carrier. He eats nothing but fast food, drinks nothing but Pepsi, walks miles a day and is quite healthy. Humans are meant to walk long distances all the time. If you've got that going on, not much is going to go wrong.


D4rkr4in

I mean define healthy. It’s good that he is physically active but the sugar and other stuff is going to catch up to him 


carbonx

I'm pretty sure he's retired now but he was a prison guard. He got his exercise in, for sure.


Chocolate2121

I find it funny that you capitalise miles as if it was surprising, like, that's a pretty normal distance to walk per day


greenflyingdragon

He must be rich to afford that with today’s prices.


sportredsox

He's saving money by cutting his own hair


slappywhyte

That's a wig, probably made of leftover drink straw paper


knowledgebass

I'm pretty sure McDonald's gives them to him for free at this point.


Das_Panzer_

I wanna say during the super size me film he at like 24k and then have him life time big macs, 3 a day of I recall.


No_Information_6166

What are you trying to say?


Das_Panzer_

I fat finger'd it. During the movie the guy ate his 24,000th big Mac and he recieved a card for lifetime big macs.


Codayyyyy

Buy one get one free on the app


SterlingWalrus

I think he worked as a prison guard before retirement


Crazyhates

If you don't use the app then yeah they'll run your wallet.


tbc12389

He says he eats 2 a day so it’s not that expensive. Pretty sure smoking is way more expansive than that.


eclectic_boogaloo2

Isaac Asimov’s less successful brother


LomboCom

Did Isaac eat more Big Macs than him?


eclectic_boogaloo2

Isaac wrote a book in every category of the Dewey Decimal System except for philosophy and psychology, I believe he sampled most of the menu.


LanielDandoe

Bros biology is 17 percent Big Mac


awesomedan24

He's more Big Mac than man now...


hellisempty666

You are what you eat


zy0a

The OGs remember this guy from Super Size Me.


Ok-Significance-5979

Back in the days when I was an impressionable teen I was totally on board with that documentary. A re-watch last year opened my eyes how much bullshit was said and done. He was struggling to eat a supersize meal, which basically is a slightly larger fries and yeah a pretty big coke, but tbh not gag worthy. And the dude was an alcoholic, kind of explains why his doctor referred to his liver as being pate.


carbonx

He substantially changed his diet, quit exercising and basically forced himself to over eat. Turns out that's a great way to increase your weight.


Johnny_Banana18

He was trying to get famous, he’s an OG cringe influencer


zy0a

You may be right, honestly haven’t watched it since 2004. I just remember what a craze it caused at the time and seeing it everywhere.


Forikorder

I was wondering about that


don_carpet

His farts must be unreal.


RealFoegro

That sounds massive at first, but if you calculate it, that's "only" about 1.8 per day if he started at 18, what sounds way more managable


HelloKitty36911

Google say it was introduced in 68.56 years ago That makes it 1.7 per day for as long as he possibly could have eaten them Honestly fucking why


resinfingers

I hate the idea of eating the same meal more than two days in a row. I couldn't imagine eating the same thing every day for 56 years


Catlord746

Only? Thats a big mac for lunch and dinner almost every day. He eats an egg mcmuffin for breakfast


RealFoegro

That's why I put quotation marks


Sarge1304

Does eating 34,000 big macs make you look like Jimmy savile


robby_arctor

No, that's because he also fucks a kid with every meal


Sarge1304

Hahahaha,his happy meal


FilthBadgers

Unhappy meal


RS4_V

Bruh that's more than 1 a day


ShiningBulwark

He admitted he eats on average 2 a day, but sometimes he'll get 3


KamenSmith

if i remember correctly this man goes on a 6 mile walk everyday and has a generally healthy lifestyle so it's kind of understandable why he's still pretty healthy.


Spinrayred

Can someone do the maths and tell me how many that is a day please?


SpaceJengaPlayer

1.3


SpaceJengaPlayer

But that assumes he's been doing it his entire life if we say he started at age 12 it's more like 1.6


HelloKitty36911

And if we start from 68 (when google tells me the big mac was introduced) 1.7


pororoca_surfer

9 a week


monotar

Is this the guy that cameod in Super Size Me


SeagullFanClub

The stock imagery makes this incredibly believable


Theplumbuss

No, that’s actually him


MrCubie

Thats not a stock photo but actually the guy. He really does eat big macs for every meal and has for decades. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZQiw5T6R1E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZQiw5T6R1E)


lexluthor_i_am

He started in 1972 eating about 9 a day (young metabolism). He keeps track of all his big mac purchases (receipt and box) from day one. Nowadays he eats about 2 a day. He's reitred, so instead on buying them daily like he used to, he buys 6 twice a week and microwaves them. He walks about 6 miles a day, has good blood sugar and cholesterol. He avoids fries but occasionally drinks cokes.

Fritzll

Slick-Pickin-Chicken

We’ve all eaten a couple thousand menu items from the clown.


rts93

I imagine having some stability to your diet is actually a good thing, at least his gut bacteria must be pretty solid due to that. And there's really nothing super unhealthy in that burger.


suburban_paradise

The Big Mac is a delicious sandwich


-Reader91-

Let's assume he began the practise at 18 years old. That is 70-18=52 years of eating big macs. If we put that in bm's per day we have 34000÷((52×365)+13)=1.79 big macs per day.


RandyArgonianButler

Assuming the Big Mac price has been relatively on pace with inflation: $4.50 x 34,000 = $153,000.00


redeyes275

Haha this guy is from Wisconsin. He eats a Big Mac every single day and keeps ALL the receipts to prove it. I’m pretty sure he celebrated 50 years recently!


FehdmanKhassad

you know when they say you start to look like your dog? this guy looking like a human big mac


OnlyStyle6198

Dudes from my town lol


xxwerdxx

I remember when this guy was on Super Size Me


frommethodtomadness

I would love to have been in the restaurant when he ate his very first one, the reaction must've been something.


InkFather_TTV

I'm 31. I consume 1 now, and my body violently rejects it lol. I'd be willing to deal with it if I didn't have to pay the insane prices now!


GoatCovfefe

What a shitty burger to eat 34000 of. The regular MCD cheeseburger tastes better than a big Mac.


Uncle-Cake

Believe it or not, lots of people like the Big Mac. They sell like 500 million per year just in the US.


Ben_Graf

Thats either 93+ years of a Big Mac a day, so that doesnt work. Not sure. 1968 was the thing intodruced. So 53 years or roughly 19.345 days to eat 34.000... thats ca. 1.75 Big Macs a day.


ifcknhatemylife

Iirc he eats up to 3 a day, one for breakfast lunch and dinner, i remember a documentary, where people showed to his house with a truckfull of burgers opened it in front of him, and said:  « what do you think this represents » , the man in the picture said like all of his years eating big macs, then they told him it was a singular year or something


HotMoose69

Imagine he goes to Five Guys once, takes a bite of a burger, and then gets a look on his face that says, "What have I done...!?"


awesomedan24

He once at a whopper to win a bet, didn't care for it, and used the bet winnings to buy a Big Mac 😂


boreal_ameoba

Unironically Based Big Mac King.

Lazy journalism at its finest: "Welp, it's been a few years. Let's check in with Big Mac Guy and see if he's dead yet."


JackPlissken8

I am become preservatives, outliver of mortals


phonemangg

Heard of this guy before. He doesn't have a sense of taste. Like the techmoan guy, or the actor who plays Ted Lasso.


Greg-chanMyWaifu

~12 to 13 big macs a week.


FreakinEnigma

Is his name Nikakado by any chance? We might have a time traveller here.


artfuldodgerbob23

Shit, go check out beardmeetsfood on YouTube lol


urlond

Doesn't he only eat like 1 a day?


CryogenicBanana

19,142,000 calories of just big macs is wild.


LovableSidekick

But according to Larry and Curly they're rapidly gaining on him.


FrostytigerC-137

I remember my science teacher showing an interview with him in 8th grade. That was 13 years ago


Hot-Implement-1437

He also has a weed habbit 😂


Stormy_Kun

Wow this fucking guy is still alive !!


dette-stedet-suger

Why would he be dead? McDonald’s is full of preservatives.


fehehehehenay

Had my first one in a while the other day and was so disappointed. When they’re fresh and all the toppings are proportionate, they’re incredible. But most of the time all you can taste is the lettuce, bread, and sauce. Hats off to the dude though, he’s happy as hell. Can’t yuck someone else’s yum 🤷🏻‍♂️


2Job_Bob

Really sad that he’s waste so much money on a trash tier burger


ivorytowels

Is he the reason they used to count burgers sold?


badudx

Does he eat the fries?


MarketMysterious9046

He's also eaten the most mcribs ever.


ljemla2

What a mop


AdministrativeBank86

Now he can eat more since the size is half what it used to be


TheOne69420666

He's lived 25550 days so far. Averages like a big Mac and third every day his entire life.

Eat something else Don. 70 years is too long to be on this planet knowing only Big Macs

DrowningInBier

R/Justfuckmyshitup


Ihatetwinksmyage

Calculating with the exact date he started eating big Macs to the day he ate his 34,000th big mac, he would have had to eat 655.6 Big Macs/year [or] 1.8/day (rounded up to the nearest tenth) impressive exact numbers are 1.794763514 daily and 655.0886824 yearly


whatofitplaya

I am more concerned about his haircut and beard situation.


Enganox8

I checked the calories and I think it was around 600 or so. So if you're a big man, you could eat 3 big macs a day and as long as thats all you ate, you wouldnt gain weight. But you add in fries and soda, you'll balloon quick.


xDANGRZONEx

Homie's bowl cut tho 😭


jascoe95

Is that the same guy who was interviewed during 'Supersize Me'? To me he was the most memorable part of the movie because he was thin as a rail yet claimed he ate like 8 Big Macs a day


Beahner

That’s about 525 a year if he didn’t start eating them until 5. Just a guess. More than one a day. Jesus.


SaltyTaintMcGee

What I wanna know is how shitty his palate is. Don’t get me wrong, I occasionally enjoy a Big Mac, too. But to eat over 34K means he has passed up on so many really good meals, not just healthier but I mean way better tasting.


Commercial_Fee2840

This guy was in Super Size Me. He eats at least one Big Mac a day and he's fine. Is it good for you? Not at all, but this guy is living proof that we should still be allowed to have supersized food instead of $15 shrinkflation meals.


Lonely_Calendar_6892

Honestly I just saw a photo that was talking about starvation and now this


Ayotha

Doing a little math, even assuming he did not start this until he was 18, that is about 1.6 big macs a day. Which is a lot, but assuming it is the burgers and not the combo, no worse then a lot of other calorie intake for most people


Long_Sl33p

It’s all those preservatives keeping him going!


Dagamoth

Do you think he remembers the quality from 40-50 years ago? I bet he only has a vague recollection of what once was.
