The Cheat Day to end all Cheat Days! (15,000 Calories)(Video)

“The "15,000 Calorie Challenge"





The Video




The Location:
San Diego, CA

The Challenge:


Eat as much food as I can!

NO liquid Calories. Whole Food(s) only.



The prize:


Eternal Glory!







Final Thoughts:



Well! I DID IT!
15,000 calories.
No Liquid Calories. All Food.


Honestly, I’m glad I did this “cheat day” challenge first.. as opposed to doing the 10,000 calorie “completely clean” challenge (essentially consuming 10,000 calories with completely “clean food”). This one was actually pretty great, I think the only downside to this one was how much everything cost! (Although I did have a gift card to Coldstone and Sonic which was definitely good).

The challenge itself wasn’t necessarily “difficult”, I definitely knew that the guys on YouTube complaining about feeling deathly full after their infamous “10k challenges” were just complaining, lmao. I wanted to simply see how much food I could put down in a single DAY (well.. to be honest it was basically half a day, as I started eating at around 11:45 a.m and finished a bit after midnight). I definitely surprised the hell out of myself and found myself just over 15,000 calories for the entire day.

The other downside to the challenge was proper planning and the fact that I feel like I could’ve gotten better filming angles/pictures. Unfortunately, we had company over during the day and I didn’t want to be filming myself eating a bunch of food at our table. At the same time, I wasn’t going to be taking my camera into Costco and out with us. (Hence the reason why a lot of angles are shot from my iPhone).

Overall I’m pretty happy with the result and how good I did! (Other than a HUGE stomach, a ton of bloating, and some nausea)

NEXT ONE WILL BE EVEN MORE EPIC **STAY TUNED**!

The bloat game was strong!

Morning of..


After..

[AFC96]

I think you are the few person who actually enjoys eating "10k+".

Other youtubers starts complaining at 7-8k mark.

[gbullock32]

INB4 Everyone saying 'Oh, your lucky you're an Ecto and can get away with that!".

Also.... in to see hidden camera of the reaction you get from the Rooter service you will no doubt need to call in the next day or so.

[Samamo]

I lol'd at the mauled bird carcass. Subbed.

[ALEXH-]

That is impressive. 15k is a lot of food. How did you feel the following day?

[TearsOfIce]

Woah! Cool video and great day of eating.

Nice Epic Binge bro! Must've had strong cravings all week.

Not quite on "Matt Stoney's" Level yet.

Binge = Negative connotation

Challenge = More positive

Lol. srs.

Positive in promoting ridiculous amounts of food in a short period of time?

Ericks not even a big eater. I reckon I'd give him his money for a run.(srs)

I'll put down 16'000 kcals in 3 hours.

Not sure if its exaggerated sarcasm or srs.

[Former300lber]

GJDM, the only way I could get to 15k was through mini chocolate bars... Dunno how you did it with the food you ate, essentially a lot of it was "whole" foods...

mind = blown

[gbullock32]

Not sure if its exaggerated sarcasm or srs.

Was thinking this too... would be hard to even find something oratorically dense enough to eat enough of in that time frame- even chugging olive oil and eating lard...

Could try non-stop sugar infused oil maybe...

[ZMan45]

For comparison's sake Joey Chestnut did 23k calories in 10 minutes in last year's hot dog contest. But then again he's the best in the world. That would be like comparing Jonnie Candito to Jeremy Hamilton.

[mikem2104]

Oh man you must have felt just great the next day! How long did that leave you full for? Or did you have room for seconds haha

[ShyGuyXS]

*mind explodes*

I'm really impressed with the recent challenges, Erik. Way to go!

[OT2000]

Wow is about all I can say

[thinkgreen]

Ha, nice! It's crazy how much you can eat.

[Blix72]

Wow, that's a lot of food! I feel full just having watched your video.

Must have been followed by an epic dump.

I'm impressed by your lack of spelling and trolling "skills".

Go back to the misc.

Thanks brother! NExt one is going to definitely be difficult without liquid kcals, lol.

TFW your breakfast has more calories than all of my food for the day when cutting...GJDM, I feel like crap when I go above 3.5k calories, can't imagine eating 15k.

It would've had more if McDonalds had breakfast for me!

Now I know!

[gbullock32]

If you do this again you should just go to one buffet and see how many calories you can get in before they kick you out. Test the 'all you can eat' motto most use.

[Jhuth13]

I love the Powerade Zero in the one pic. I get it, but its just so funny mixed in with all of that high cal food

[EjnarKolinkar]

Ah man, props for the costco run (that chicken + pizza) , and those eggs and cin raisin looks deliscious. #Gainz

Had such a hard time not pic quoting those

[StrikingMoose]
