As one of those that easily destroy an XL pizza in one go... why is that terrifying?
I Mean, overall I don't eat all that much... I never eat breakfast and very rarely eat lunch, so one or two meals a day for me (historically a very active person) has to be large to make up for the times I don't have time (or want) to stop and eat. So it takes at least a large pizza or like two boxes of Mac & cheese to even come close to refilling my fuel tank.
So, using a 16” pizza as a “xl” size.
PapaJohns XL cheese: 3000 calories Dominos XL cheese: 2980 calories
I powerlift 3-4 days a week and run 30-60k a week depending on how many days I lifted.
If I ate JUST one of those a day as a 6’ tall man I’d still gain weight and want to die.
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.
