And you thought you liked McDonalds and Big Macs. Could you seriously imagine doing this yr. after yr. after yr. and not missing one day? Could you also imagine how Big you would be from doing so, and just imagine what his Cholesterol count would be. To me, this is a little bit too much. I personally could never eat one 7 days in a row let alone as many as this man has done. If you have never heard about this, check out the story here and see for yourself. For me, this is a little extreme. http://www.click2houston.com/news/1055957/detail.html But I guess from now on anything I crave will never match up to his record. I wonder if this is in the Guiness Book Of World records?

The actual story I posted says he has aten that many over the course of time. I think this is definately a little overboard, but then some people will do almost anything to get noticed, won't they?

I seriously doubt the validity of this claim. The BigMac has been available for about 40 years. This would mean that you would have to eat an average of a dozen BigMac's everyday since its inception. 12 BigMac's/day X 365 days X 40 years = 175,200 Add another year of 12 BigMac's pre day and you would be pretty close to the claimed 180,000 hamburgers. People some pretty strange things, but I doubt this one. Label this claim as "possible - but NOT - probable"!

Oh my, I don't know what else to say. He looks like a normal size man, not overweight. He also says his cholesterol is good. It did say he has set a record on the number of Big Macs eaten. I like Big Macs too, but no where close to him. McDonalds should give him free Big Macs just for the publicity.

I can never imagine someone eating Big Macs day after day. It must get rather boring. I never cared for hamburgers myself and I guess he is lucky in that his choleserol remains the same, but I am not a man and I do not do that much heavy work. Now if I ate cheescake every day, you would sure notice that. I would be up to 250 lbs and going strong. Thank goodness I want a little variety in my diet.

Big Mac Meal - A big mac value meal.
OMG, 18,000 Big Macs. Wow, I'm just speechless. Tell me what people don't do. And did you see how slim he is? Eating a Big Mac everyday might be a good diet plan like the subway sandwich, . I love big macs too, but I can't eat one everyday for 30 years. I would get tried of eating them. Well, McDonalds is making money off of him.

I have seen this befor on tv.It's crazy! don't get me wrong I love me some big macs but not thtat #$&* much.And you know he's not that big of a guy.You would think that he was like 500 plus but he's not.Now if I was to have a big mac every week I would gain 10lbs a week.Just thinking about a big mac makes me gain weight.hahaI don't think it is in the guiness book.I read it every year and haven't seen it.IT should be.

that is very extreme, and expensive! I would tire quickly from the lack of variety, I am sure. Though I had a neighbor once who ate the same thing every day for lunch since her youth and she was quite elderly at the time. I could not imagine eating that many big macs, nor could I imagine keeping track of how many I had eaten.

I think that is so gross! Just think of all the grease he is eating day after day. I get into my McDonalds moods, but eating there once satisfies it. Is this the guy who is on the supersized movie? How unhealthy this is!

You know, you got a bit happy with the ZEROS ... ... after checking the originating article I find that you have increased the number of burgers by tenfold! The actual number of BigMacs he claims to have eaten is 18,000! 18,000 over the past 30 years. That is less than 2 per day.

Wow that is really weird. I mean I like eating at McDonalds but only once in a while. And it said that his cholestorol was a modest 155? How is his cholestorol that number which I assume is pretty good and I have high cholestorol and I barely eat that much fast food? It just goes to show you how really different each body is. Those kids must have a lot of toys from the happy meals.

To me that is disgusting and actually a shame that someone would put their body through that. I can only imagine the number of calories consumed. That probably equals drinking a gallon of pure grease. How disgusting is that.

That is simply, wow. I am new here in the United States. While we have McDonalds in the Philippines, I did not know that hamburgers here are twice as large as our diet hamburgers back there. So I guess, I was kind of surprised to see how big are BigMacs here. I mean, we are a little slender and short. So our diet requires half of what American people eat. That's a given. But still, I was surprised to learn how, for me, large a BigMac really are served here. That being said, I am twice surprised to learn how eating, what?, a record of 180,000 is ever possible. Wow. Really. I mean, give me a BigMac and I would probably eat it twice, one half for lunch, the other for dinner. And that's it for my day. And I am a mid-20s man. My diet requires greater than people younger my age. But for someone to eat that much BigMac, wow. Amazing. Can't imagine it's possible. But I am concerned about his health though. Hope he figures a way to moderate that.

He looks like he's in good health, too, or at least for now. I think the article says that he skips breakfast and lunch, so he's not eating that much. My brother is very thin, too, but he doesn't eat healthy, but he doesn't eat that often, I think. But, the cost of those burgers in my area are over $2.50 each, I think, perhaps more. I can't imagine spending that every day. But, then again, some people spend that much on coffee. I just don't.

Goodness I like them to but not everyday. I use to work at McDonald's I would get tired of eating there on my break. So sometimes I would go across the road to Hardee's or home to find something to eat. That would burn me out really fast eating one everyday.

it is impossible for any man to do this as we all know eating junk food causes many diseases and has many side effects .

I adore McDonald's, but that just seems like a step too far. You also added an extra "0" to the number - the article states that he has eaten 18,000, not 180,000. Not that it makes it much better.
