Eating 10,000 Calories a Day for 1 Week - Food Challenge

ever since game of thrones the mountain revealed his incredible 10 000 calorie daily diet doing a 10 000 calorie meal has become a sort of ritual of passage for youtube stars that's when we thought hey wait we've got a youtube star of our own everyone's favorite infographics lab rat and since he's on the payroll we can make him do whatever we want so forget 10 000 calories in one meal we're putting youtube's most expendable rider on a 10k calorie diet for an entire week day one i'm excited for this challenge i mean i love eating it's probably my favorite thing to do in fact i have to actively try to not eat just so i can stay in shape this is literally the challenge i've been waiting for and the challenge the girlfriend has probably liked the least she told me that if i did this challenge then it wouldn't be junk food if i was gonna try the mountain's incredible diet then i had better do it the same way he does which means ten thousand calories of mostly healthy stuff and a whole lot of exercise and you know what i'm into it i'm willing to give it a go except there's a twist infographics is offering me another 200 incentive to put a quote fun spin end quote on the challenge for each additional mini challenge i undertake there's five of these additional challenges and i don't get to find out what they are until i open the envelope with each challenge inside it for each one i managed to complete i get an extra 200 bucks which is a good thing because we did some calculations and this is going to rake up one hell of a grocery bill i mean infographics is footing the bill i'm filing that under expenses but still it's going to be significant we went to the grocery store yesterday and stocked up on beef chicken fish a ton of pasta milk like six cartons of eggs a literal pound of cheese my one week cart looked like what we might go through in a month what a delicious challenge ahead of me okay so i figured i'd open one envelope a day and the first one is simply replicate the mountain's workout along with the diet sounds easy enough i'll report it at the end of the day end of day one all right i'm feeling i don't know yet very very full would be a good answer but also my body's about ready to die from replicating the mountain's workout i guess it makes sense you can't eat as much as this and not get crazy fat unless you're exercising and putting all those calories to use so for breakfast i had eight eggs a bowl of oats like two bushes worth of strawberries blueberries and avocados and then it was off to a local crossfit place to start the mountains workout in case you haven't heard of crossfit then none of your friends do it because if they did they'd be talking about it constantly and never shut up about how awesome it is basically crossfit's a lifestyle choice i'm not kidding that's literally what trainers say the moment you step through the door you do a lot of strength and aerobic training lose a bunch of weight and get real strong but you do it doing things like hitting tires with hammers or dragging tires around or flipping tires over and over again and again and again yeah it's a lot of tire stuff though my personal favorite at this local crossfit place literally dragging a ship's anchor behind you as you sprint i guess since we're so close to the beach it's just keeping on theme at least it's not a tire just kidding they do that too i mean there's regular exercises too like weight benches and free weights and stuff but crossfit or at least crossfit in la loves to improvise so instead of a 50 pound weight you throw around a giant industrial fire extinguisher it's well i guess it's certainly more interesting than a normal workout when you're improvising everything you're lifting dragging or pushing i should have probably taken notes but i was so exhausted i would have completely forgotten to but basically i feel i did every variation of every exercise no demand and if this is how the mountain trains wow no wonder he's a contender for world's strongest man in order to stay on diet i had to stop in the middle of the exercise and eat a ton of nuts and berries more juicy calories down the gullet to fuel my superman workout when it was finally time for lunch i had a ton of protein powder with full fat milk chicken pasta that i had meal prep the day before and copious amounts of yogurt honestly i'm not sure how i'm keeping it all down especially when half an hour later i was back to hurling heavy ropes around and flipping tires over for hours on end by the time night came i definitely earned an extra 200 bucks let me put it this way the mountain is the mountain for a reason the dude's a beast and if you want to replicate his workout maybe don't dive straight into it the way i did i'm not sure i'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow i feel a lot of sore muscles coming on day two i was right i could barely move today i effectively annihilated every muscle in my body yesterday but the challenge must go on and luckily eating doesn't require much exercise i decided i could definitely do another challenge as long as it wasn't physical and luckily for me this challenge was the 10 000 calories of vegetables and fruits wait sorry did i say lucky i meant you know what it's not a word i'm allowed to say on youtube because we'll get demonetized you know what's better than the five to seven servings of fruit and veggies you're supposed to get a day 30 extra large servings which is what me and the girlfriend very roughly estimated would take to accomplish 10 000 calories in one day okra carrots squash oranges beans of all sorts corn i think i ate every vegetable and or fruit known to man today honestly the simplest thing to do was to go to the store and buy like five cans of bushes baked beans those things weigh in at 150 calories per half a cup of serving and you can pack a lot of servings into one of those restaurant sized cans also i fried every vegetable i could though the girlfriend made me use olive oil so that cut down on the calories i even tried frying some of the fruit just out of sheer eating boredom but that was a terrible idea i literally ate all day because to get ten thousand calories worth of vegetables and fruits you have to really beat the clock day three okay my body isn't quite as dead as it was yesterday and i can move without every muscle screaming at me to get back into bed i'm legitimately starting to dread at breakfast it's kind of become a chore i have to figure out how to hit 10 000 calories every single day so i have to break it down by meal and i really hate math thankfully eggs are pretty full of calories so i whipped up a six egg omelette with all the fixins and i do mean all the fixins and then scarfed it down with four pieces of heavily buttered toast and chocolate milk and that was like 1500 calories right there new day new mini challenge i opened up my envelope for the day and my new challenge was eat 10 000 calories of bacon okay i should have probably opened the envelope before having my first meal of the day so i'm gonna have to eat an extra 1500 calories today so here's a surprise i did some bacon research before heading off to the grocery store and discovered that baking bacon actually makes it have more calories than frying it in a pan if someone can explain the science of that i'm listening all right so one slice of bacon is 43 calories give or take which meant i had to eat a whopping 233 slices throughout the day to hit 10 calories that's a lot of bacon and it was a lot of frying except i went with baking the bacon instead because hey it was easier and faster to cook dozens of slices at a time that way and b it has a higher calorie count than pan frying i didn't just sit down and eat this mountain of bacon all at one go of course that would be insane i just ate strips throughout my entire day literally all day long i was snacking on strips of bacon because that's how much bacon it takes to eat 10 000 calories the girlfriend was terrified about the salt content and she's probably right to worry so i drank a ton of water too so that it would help flush it out of my system whether that was good enough or not i suspect i'll find out in a week or two when the real health implications of all this are made apparent day four okay day four only this time i opened the challenge envelope before i ate breakfast which was a good call today i had to eat ten thousand calories of only liquid foods and the challenge came with a ton of suggestions on what to drink because i think infographics is as concerned about the salt content of all the bacon i ate on the previous day as the girlfriend was basically today i'm not allowed an ounce of salt and the girlfriend was there to make sure that this rule wasn't forced also everything had to be liquid i took out our juicer and prepared it early in the morning for what would probably be the hardest day of its life so what did i eat fruit smoothies vegetable smoothies a whole lot of weight gain workout powders which all taste disgusting honestly today was the easiest day so far of eating 10 000 calories the juices definitely went through me faster than solid food although it was by far the worst tasting day workout protein powders are like the best way to drink your way to 10 calories but they all taste like elephant ass how is it that we can put men on the moon but we can't make protein shakes taste good day five alright infographics definitely saved the best for last but before i tell you about my fifth mini challenge let me talk to you about your toilet your toilet is your friend it's there when you're happy it's there when you're sad it literally takes all your crap and never complains flushing it away and out of your life you know what happens when you eat 10 000 calories a day for a whole week your toilet starts to not be your friend anymore your toilet gets tired of taking your crap again literally your toilet breaks down i imagine that the reason for this is obvious and most of you are dear viewers minds 10 000 calories that get put into your body have to come back out somehow and that's put a hell of a strain on our simple suburban toilet i imagine that the mountain and other mega athletes on these super diets must have industrial toilets especially built to handle the load i went ahead and added the cost of a plumber to my expense report for the infographics their dump challenge idea their plumber bill as far as i'm concerned also i swear i heard the plumber whisper a prayer before shutting the door behind him in the bathroom so mini challenge not gonna lie probably one of my favorites ever today i had to eat 10 000 calories of desserts yes desserts literally my favorite thing in the entire world i was like a kid on christmas morning rushing to the grocery store to purchase any and every type of cake cream puff and muffin they had available the girlfriend of course was not nearly so thrilled about all this but this was my challenge and i was determined to complete it i promised to buy her something nice with the extra 200 bucks or i would have if i could have completed it listen eating all the cake and sweets you can stuff in your mouth sounds easy until you realize just how much 10 000 calories really is also the sugar content is insane and by the time i had woof down a lemon meringue pie and a chocolate cheesecake and an entire sheet of cinnamon rolls i was ready to have a diabetic coma i managed to power my way through a coconut cream pie and another cheesecake before i had to call it quits by our approximation i hit 8 000 calories but simply couldn't stomach 2 000 more honestly i think it's all that fat and sugar content or maybe my body just can't handle extreme amounts of food anymore either way i had to fight not to vomit everything i'd eaten over the course of the day up and ultimately i put up my white flag and declared defeat i didn't quite make it but i did finish four out of five mini challenges and got to experience the insanity of a super diet also i ate our entire month's grocery shopping in just one week and i'm pretty sure i can't ever speak to our plumber now it's time to take it easy and work off the four pounds i gained in just this one week the girlfriend is picking the menu for the rest of the month and she promised plenty of fruits and veggies to fix all the damage this diet did on my body and you know what i'm okay with that ready for more weird food challenges
