Comment on The fact that some humans can shove an entire large pizza inside themselves is both amazing and terrifying

  When I was 20 I could easily pound down a full Papa John’s pizza and stay skinny as a rail. Nowadays I eat one cookie after dinner and my body permanently incorporates it into my mass, never to be released again.

  Age and biology are big factors here. For me to gain, at the pace you go weekly, I’d have to make myself sick eating enough to keep up.

    3000 calories a day is a lot my dude, that’s a lot of food being talked about.

      I dont know yhe other commentor, but i am pretty much permanantly poor because i have to eat about 2800 just to maintain my weight. I literally cannot afford to feed myself the massive amount of food it requires for my body to simply maintain.

      Im 30, 145 lbs, 6’3", and it only takes my body about 45 minutes for food to go in one end and out the other, whereas its supposed to be closer to 8 hours

      Km makes sense. And few people run 30-60Km a week, so that threw me. I’ve known exactly one person to run that per week, and she was an outlier.

      So, let me do the math, this guy is running ~18-~38 miles a week? OK. LOL, I walk that. :)
