Could You Eat 8K Calories At Breakfast? Here's How...
The Bear Grills Café in Cheshire, England believes in starting the day off right -- assuming it's your last day on earth. The restaurant's signature breakfast, inspired by "Man vs. Food" and dubbed "The Hibernator," weighs in at 8,000 calories, enough to feed the average person for most of a week. Customers even have to sign a legal waiver before scarfing it down.
But 8,000 is just a number and tough to visualize. So, assuming you're not headed to Cheshire, England in the immediate future, here's the number of items you'd have to order at major fast food restaurants to reach that extreme caloric intake. And you don't even need to sign a waiver!
The calorie MVP playing for the Golden Arches is the large Big Breakfast with Hotcakes. Ronald hooks you up with scrambled eggs, a sausage patty, a large biscuit, hash browns and three hotcakes. Coming in at 1,150 calories, it's a tough competitor. Add a large Minute Maid orange juice (280 calories) and a large McCafé Frappe Chocolate Chip (750 calories), and you have 2,180.
Now order four of all that and you get to 8,720 calories -- not including condiments, like syrup or ketchup.
The Cinnabon Delights 12-pack is the calorie winner with 930 calories, but that isn't really an original Taco Bell creation. For that, let's turn to the A.M. Crunchwrap with Sausage, which provides 710 calories. Add a Grande Scrambler Burrito with Steak (670 calories), an orange juice (140 calories), and a hot coffee with creamer (35 calories), and your grand total comes out to 2,485 calories.
You would only need three orders of that combo to reach 7,455 calories!
The BK Ultimate Breakfast Platter is similar to the McDonald's Big Breakfast with Hotcakes. It includes scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, a biscuit and three pancakes in syrup. Its calorie total? 1,420! Add a five-count of French Toast Sticks (380 calories), a Minute Maid orange juice (140 calories), and a BK Caramel Frappé (600 calories) and you get a total of 2,540 calories.
Three of those orders will get you to 7,620 calories.
Although the politics of Chick-Fil-A can be polarizing, the taste of its chicken sandwiches is not. They are amazing and delicious 100% of the time -- and the breakfast is no exception. CFA describes the Sausage Platter as a "hearty meal," and they're not kidding; it includes scrambled eggs, a slice of pork sausage, a biscuit and white pepper gravy with sausage. This delicious treat contains 810 calories. Add a Sausage Breakfast Burrito (500 calories), a Cinnamon Cluster (430 calories), and a large lemonade (340 calories) and your total comes out to 2,080 calories.
Four orders of everything would get your count to 8,320.
Even if Hardee's customers don't all resemble the supermodels they put in their commercials, the food sure does taste good! Their Monster Biscuit is made up of bacon, sausage, ham, a folded egg and two slices of American cheese on a biscuit. That sucker comes in at 730 calories. Add a large side of Hash Rounds (510 calories), Made From Scratch Pull-Aparts (430 calories), a Monster Energy Drink (200 calories) and a sweet tea (380 calories) and you end up with a total of 2,250 calories.
Multiply your order by four and you get 9,000 calories of goodness.
Now, go forward and drown your meals in maple syrup and ketchup, and laugh at those fools at the Bear Grills Café merely gorging themselves with black pudding and beans.
