8000-calorie burger

now tell mw who's up for a burger followed by a heart attack or 2 - T/F

as a certified carnivore, i can see the appeal. i just can't eat that much!

i'll pass thank you.. or i'll pass out..

Good god, 8000 cal's ..I'll take this over a Big Mac. Big Macs and quarter pounders here in Holland are a joke, compared to the ones I've had in the States. Just need a ****load of appetite and space to hoover this mammoth of a burger!

I believe my butt just puckered up!

cool, now what is a calorie? because i cant imagine heating 8000kg of water by 1 degree either..

Well, I guess that means that if you burned that burger, converting most of its internal chemical energy into heat, it would do just that, heat 1 kg of water by 8000 degrees celsius...w0w!!

(of course, most of that heat would actually transfer to the surroundings, so the water wouldn't get that hot. Even if it did, it'd vaporize at around 100 degrees)

IIRC what we call a calorie in the States is really a Kilocalorie...

That's "Calorie", upper-case "C". But are often used synonymously, so it does get confusing.

I actually don't think it's a U.S/rest-of-world distinction, but a scientific/real-world one.

One calorie © is the amount of heat energy it takes to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius.

The calories you see on food, including this 8000 calorie burger, are actually in terms of kilicalories, or kCal. A 250 calorie bag of chips will raise 250 * 1000 grams of water 1 degree Celsius, not 250 grams of water.

hence, me talking about 1 kilogram of water lets keep it all metric and call it 33472MJ

i cant imagine raising 1 kg by 8000 degrees just by a burger either, wow...

cool i hijacked a thread about unhealthy eating and turned it into something else

I'm not sure that

8000x1000 g water by 1 deg C = 1x1000g water by 8000 deg C
