  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

and run 30-60k a week

You mean calories? I'm a little lost.

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. :)
