The Super Size Me documentary was basically a fraud. You can eat somewhat healthy at McDonalds if you have more salads and Egg McMuffins and less shakes and fries. This
joker tried living on the most unhealthiest items on the menu only.
Yep, if you look closely at what he eats (I don’t believe he has released his food logs), he eats way more than just a meal. There are numerous other items around him he is eating. Claimed 5,000 calories a day, but Big Mac meal is less than 1500. So he overstuffed himself.
The way he ate and exercised for the Super-Size Me film was as follows:
Order largest combination item on menu, get it upsized, consume entire order, LIMIT walking/physical activity to UNDER 5000 steps per day.
Even without the large meals he would have gained weight. I’ve often done 5000 steps before breakfast (according to my pedometer, anyway...).
Not basically. It was. If you watch the documentary “Fat Head” he rips Super Size Me to shreds. Spurlock to this day refuses to turn over a log of precisely what he ate. This is anti-science and clear indication of fraud. In Fat Head he determines that Spurlock was eating more than what he declared in the documentary based on calorie intake. Spurlock is a snake-oil salesman.
And as I recall, waaaay too much of it.
