Joey Chestnut wolfed down 62 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes to win the men’s competition of the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest for the 16th time Tuesday. The champion eater whose nickname is “Jaws” fell short of the record 76 hot dogs and buns that he set at the Independence Day event in 2021.
I was curious on what the math was for calories consumed, fat, etc. Doing a little digging finds that they use Nathan’s Natural Casing hot dogs. Which have the following nutritional facts:
- Serving Size: 1 Frank / 56 g
- Calories: 170
- Total Fat: 16 g / 21% Daily Value
- Saturated Fat: 6 g / 30%
- Trans Fat: 1 g
- Cholesterol: 30 mg / 10%
- Sodium: 0.48 g / 21%
- Protein: 6 g / 12%
Doing the math for 62 dogs (excluding the buns):
- Serving Size: 62 Frank / 3472 g
- Calories: 10540
- Total Fat: 992 g / 1302% Daily Value
- Saturated Fat: 372 g / 1860%
- Trans Fat: 62 g
- Cholesterol: 1860 mg / 620%
- Sodium: 29.76 g / 1302%
- Protein: 372 g / 744%
Wowzas!
This guy breaks down why he’s not fat after eating all that stuff.
Beardmeatsfood on YouTube is a competitive eater and is a lean dude.
Natural casings? So intestines, like in the good old days?
Still the undisputed throat goat.
I’m just chuckling at that Pepcid sponsorship.
The contestants call themselves “regurgitators.” All that food comes out the moment they leave the scene.
Freaking insane he’s able to pull this off year after year. It’s just such a ridiculous thing but this high ridulousness makes it impressive.
