    You ever notice that when people doubt that he will finish he’s cocky as hell after. Now he makes no comment if it doesn’t lead to his own self praise. His mom must be proud. She did her best I suppose.

    @Randy Santel–what do you think of Jack’s eating accomplishments? Since you’re in Ohio doing a tour right now, I’m guessing he’s done most of the challenges you’ll be doing. I also heard you say (during your live stream of the 30 Donut challenge) that you know what his “secret is” to not gain any weight from his food challenges… What did you mean by this? What’s the secret, because I want to be able to do challenges and not gain weight too. Thanks in advance

    Jack likes to get places before others to look like a champion. He’s pretty two faced

    So you say he had no competition, so why didn’t you compete. Funny with the comments because sounds as if your mad he won

    Why not ask him what his secret is. Hint Hint: Look at his Strava

    This is funny. A bunch of people mad at a new comer actually doing decent. I don’t see any of you attempting these. And who knows what he does behind the scenes lmao. Why not ask the owners of the establishments about him if you’re so concerned rather than making your own judgement. I asked some of the local ones and they actually spoke highly of him

    He got lucky Molly and Dan didn’t show up. Restaurant was advertising Molly and Dan attending up along with Jack. We know what would have happened to Jack if they had attended…

    This was a difficult contest to attend, especially if you were from out of town. First entrants had to qualify and the finals were on a weekday during working hours.

    lol, his Strava? You know how hard it is to burn off calories by running?

    If you ran a marathon at 190 lbs and 8.5 minute/mile pace, you’d only burn an extra 3,100 calories.some of these challenges that are 10 lbs or more can easily be 9k-12k calories.

    Even if we assume he’s only doing 1 of these a week (which he’s not), he’d have to run 3 or more full marathons to burn those calories. Also, if you eat that much food and keep it in your stomach, ain’t no way you’re going for a run later that day or even the next day.

    Sounds as if your making excuses and can’t give the kid is credit. Not his fault Molly and Dan couldn’t attend. Maybe if you’re so mad about it, attend yourself lol. He won you lost

    Lol sounds like you need a lesson in nutrition. Let’s say by your logic the exercise is that much. That’s only from exercise, with other factors such as Basal Metabolic Rate, Thermogenesis ,and TDEE, you have to add that upon the calories burnt from exercise. That’s almost up to 5,000 in a day, alongside fasting the other days. Sounds like it adds up if you actually knew about nutrition. And so when Molly/Dan eat 20,000 calories and than do another challenge, how do they do itt smart guy

    Sounds like you’re mad the kid is actually doing well for being a rookie. If you’re so mad he won, maybe you should compete. He won, you lost lol

    Jack: we know you are posting in this thread and defending yourself. The fact is you jumped in front of Randy (GOAT) on purpose just before him to try and upstage him and then act all innocent after the fact. This was one of your first actions on the scene. Needless to say, this is a very small community and word gets around. Your arrogance on Facebook and social media is very evident. You are your biggest fan. The more you post with complete disregard for respecting other eaters and their accomplishments and your arrogant comments, the more you’ll be shunned going forward by the community. Maybe you can get together with Moh and Bandana eats and grift and pan for money before you’ll do a challenge or better yet let us all know your eating disorder that allows you to eat buffets daily or die.

    Reading these comments are hilarious. Who knew people can be so pressed over eating food. Jack i’m sorry you’re getting this bad backlash for being successful in a small industry as someone stated above. It’s called a “challenge” for a reason and people need to understand that at the end of the day, it’s food. Who cares and those people need to grow up. Good luck champ!

    Every single one of you are talking behind a screen. Maybe if you had the balls, you’d comment on his page… Wimp. He won $1000 based off of this contest and your still talking behind a screen… maybe you should try and eat like that so you aren’t behind a screen

    Wait, can someone explain how Molly/Dan do these food challenges. As well as Jack. Obviously, it seems they may be better than Jack so how do they do it?

    Pretty sure Molly explained it on her recent youtube live. They both had a very good reason.

    5:31 – Obviously sarcasm. I think the issue here is Jack is big-time arrogance. He’s going to be the next Joey Chestnut and all.

    BMR and thermogenesis are not adding up to 5,000 cals per day. YOU should do some research. Maybe 5% of calories consumed are burned through thermogenesis. (And thermogenesis is highest for protein rich foods, which food challenges tend not to be). BMR is like 1,000 calories for someone of jack’s size.

    Above all though, it is extremely unlikely that all of the sudden you attempt your first food challenge and come to find out “hey, I can eat more than 10 pounds of food”. Just doesn’t really work like that. But maybe Jack is the exception, and was naturally gifted with an enormous capacity that he didn’t really need to “train” for.

    Every knows how Moly and Dan do these food challenges. Difference is that they don’t advertise it for the world to see, and they don’t act like they are the best food challengers when they beat a challenge in record time (and they are, without a doubt, among the best). Like somebody else above commented, it’s a small community of skilled eaters out there, and we already know about all the “tricks”—you can’t fool us.

    I saw Molly and Dan do two back to back food challenges. One being a 15lb deep dish pizza and then another pizza in Michigan. How do they stay that small. I never can find a video of them explaining it!

    To the person thinking they know how nutrition works stating Jack’s build has a bmr of 1000cals. You realize to have that BMR at a 6 foot frame, you have to be less than 140lbs and I don’t believe he weighs that much lol. Maybe you really need to look into nutrition and study the research. Let’s say his bmr is 1500kcals, which is added upon training with a marathon as you stated which is 4,600kcals in one day by a marathon and basic metabolic rate. You failed to include the 5% of thermogenesis and then the rest of his TDEE which can include walking or just daily activity. That’s above 5,000kcal. You truly are an imbecile and before YOU state I need to do more research, look into research studies and the law of thermodynamics smart guy. Your theory = flawed

    They did the live while in the car driving back from Detroit.
