The only thing more American than hot dogs, s’mores, and apple pie is over-consuming those very foods which was the absurdly inspired thought that lead us to constructing a 25,000 calorie menu of our favorite classic American eats for this week’s food challenge!
With southern staples like cornbread, pecan pie, and banana pudding to now globally embraced creations such as the chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter & jelly sandwich, this week’s Takedown featured all foods that reflect the history of the United States consumed in great, American excess.
This was such a fun food challenge to pull together between the wide variety of items we grew up on and a few new favorites like the Southern Buttermilk Pie!
We hope y’all enjoy this week’s challenge half as much as we enjoyed those S’mores bars which, to be honest, would be hard to imagine with our degree of enthusiasm around those things.
Much love,
-Pete & Nate

FAQ’s:
Q: How do you not gain weight?
A: Endurance sports (primarily running, cycling and some resistance training tossed in) and extreme discipline & sacrifice with our daily diets is how we manage not to gain weight. We eat mostly vegetables, fruits, some whole grains and low fat dairy on the days outside these challenges. The calories consumed in a food challenge are the only calories consumed that day and sometimes the day following as well seeing our appetites are typically shot from so much food and the thought of eating is very off putting. Two days out we are back to large amounts of vegetables and increase to maintenance from there. We also often eat most of our days calories in a smaller eating window (we frequently bounce between intermittent fasting & OMAD diet as it just seems to work with our lifestyles and eating preferences). Anyone with a larger than normal stomach capacity like us, the drive to push through the discomfort of a challenge like this, and a basic understanding of energy balance (calories in vs calories out) can do it with enough disciple and intention (not that we recommend it).
Also worth mentioning is that we do not exercise to burn the calories consumed in a challenge but rather we are able to consume higher calorie diets due to our love for endurance sports and said discipline with our daily diets.
Q: Can you make a “What I eat in a day” / fitness focused video?
A: While we’re sure that type of video will eventually make its way out there, we are only able to produce one piece of quality content with our current schedules. We’re still in the very early stages of establishing ourselves within the food challenge genre and we’re constantly experimenting & trying to improve upon our style to make our channel/challenges a unique experience. This channel in particular will most likely always primarily revolve around food challenges but, if this ever became a legitimate source of income and we were able to focus our full attention towards creating content, our goal would be to start a second channel to offer more of a look into that side of our lives. So, for now, food challenges are the name of the game.
