    I don’t think it is possible, even for an incredible professional eater, if you are not purging any food. As an example to put things into perspective, one of the more expensive single items is a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese (DQPwC). You’d have to eat approximately 209 DQPwC’s in 1.5 days to reach $1,000. Using an average weight of 9.8 ounces for 1 DQPwC that equates to 128 lbs of food in 1.5 days (119 lbs if you use Big Mac’s).
    You could use different foods but I don’t see much deviation in terms of the total amount of food you will be consuming. If anything, the smaller items will be more because they are cheaper. (Ex. McNuggets: $1,000 = 4,449 McNuggets = 156 lbs).
    I didn’t do the math for everything but I’d say its safe to assume no matter how you cut it your going to have to eat at least 90-100 lbs of food in 1.5 days to win that bet which I don’t think is possible.

    I agree with 6:55. All poker players have nice houses.

    JamJosh not eating burgers it is not. But there are other types of foods that digest rather fast and are very bad money for value ratio that could up your $ value very quickly. Have to think outside the big mac box here. Find a few loop holes and it could be done. Sauces are like 25 cents each i think? get something with a ton of sauce and you could up your cost substantially. Plus you got other bad value items you could add to it. But as far as burgers? yea no way its possible.

    It is possible. The challenge is to eat $1000 worth of food, the calorie count is not important. He should just order the most expensive sandwiches on the menu and have them hold most of the toppings. I would recommend going for all the expensive special chicken sandwiches, requesting them with no buns. I think a professional could accomplish the feat if they did some planning in advance to figure out what combinations would have the lowest calories for the price paid.

    I’m not counting calories. I’m counting the sheer quantity (lbs) of food you will be consuming which is the main part of the challenge. Strategically, your best shot is to use the most expensive items. You could ask for no toppings but they are so minimal it wouldn’t make much of an impact. I don’t see any loopholes (i.e. extra sauces, etc…) you could use that would actually be viable. The reason its impossible is because you have $1,000 and everything on the menu is so cheap your going to be buying too much food regardless of how you spread it out.
    I’m deeming this challenge ($1,000 of McDonald’s food eaten in 36 hours) as impossible. Someone try and post a combination of menu item totaling $1,000 and how much food it equates to (lbs/kgs) and I guarantee no one can do it.

    I think we need somewhere with a menu price with a straight up listing for any requested item for conformity to figure this out. You are right pounds of food is the issue. Im looking for the worse value for your money foods that are the least weight towards your goal you can do. With those exceptions on salads and drinks and so forth.

    To me, the only way it is possible would if someone lived in New England and had the ability to get Lobster Rolls. At close to $9/per, you’d need to have around 100 (not sure if tax was part of the bet) with soda/fries to break up the monotony. You’d definitely need one of these sandwiches to do it, as burgers along would amount to somewhere in the 200 patty range at a minimum of around 50 lbs of meat not even including the bread.

    June 17, 2016 Lobster lovers rejoice! Beginning June 20, more than 600 McDonald’s restaurants throughout New England and the Albany, New York area will add the Lobster Roll to their summer menus. A local favorite, the Lobster Roll is freshly prepared and made with 100 percent North Atlantic lobster meat lightly tossed with mayonnaise in a stainless steel bowl, layered on crisp leaf and shredded lettuce and served chilled on a home-style toasted roll. Priced at $8.99, the hand-prepared Lobster Roll is 290 calories and made with 100 percent North Atlantic lobster meat.

    With lobster rolls (didn’t even know McDonald’s had them) I think you are much closer to the realm of being possible but its still a long shot. At $9 each you would need 111 lobster roll sandwiches. The serving size of 1 sandwich is 174 grams so 111 would equate to approximately 43 lbs. That is a very tall order of solid food in 36 hours (1.5 days) for even a seasoned and elite competitive eater. Is this scenario possible? Maybe…but that’s a very skeptical maybe.

    One of the McDonalds in Maine used to offer an all-you-can-eat buffet in the 90’s for a short time.

    It’s understandable why it was for a short time.

    well how much are just egg whites? How many of those can you do in 36 hours? Those are small and add up fast.
