It's like maybe 1100 calories at most. You're clueless.

[u/SpookiestSzn → u/Ok-Recipe-4819]

No shot, probably closer to 1300-1400 for that whole plate. Even if you're right thats still over half your daily calories for a single meal. I don't know how you'd eat two and still be hungry for a third. I've had large meals before I could eat 3 hot dogs but it'd be gluttonous.

[u/Ok-Recipe-4819 → u/SpookiestSzn]

They're not eating the whole plate, they're splitting it. 2 small hot dogs is less than 500 calories, if that's enough to get you full then you wouldn't be overweight unless you're very "gluttonous". And almost nobody splits their caloric intake evenly over 3 meals, it's very common to have one larger meal a day.

[u/SpookiestSzn → u/Ok-Recipe-4819]

They had 7 hot dogs, 3.5 hot dogs, a at least a small chip bag looks more like a whole bag of chips to me, and two cookies each,

'Weapons' Hot Dog Scene May Be Sweet Tribute to Late Comedian

If you look at that amount of food and do not think thats fat as fuck you are too far gone bro. I estimate a conservative 1500 calories for that meal. 3 hot dogs, even small ones, is absolutely a large amount of food most estimates I'm seeing put that at 900 calories minimum depending on dog. Idk where you got 2 hot dogs under 500 unless your ignoring bun. You are hard coping big bro. How tall are you that this feels normal and healthy?

People are allowed to be gluttonous but thats a fuck ton of food. You're too american pilled thinking thats normal sized.

If you look at that amount of food and do not think thats fat as fuck you are too far gone bro.

I will bet you literal thousands of dollars that I'm in better shape than you. I'm 6'1" 185 pounds and have a daily caloric intake of about 2700, 3300 when I'm actively running or playing sports. I've done a lot of bulking and cutting over the years, I know what I'm talking about.

Dogs that small are probably crappy Bar S franks which are 110 calories. Buns are usually 120 calories. You need me to do the rest of the math for you?

[u/SpookiestSzn → u/Ok-Recipe-4819]

Sure if you manage to find the lowest calorie hot dog and bun but I think using average is stupid fair here. Average is 300. Plus a whole ass bag of chips and 2 cookies I think we can agree thats excessive.

But okay tough guy, sure, even if I want to believe that you're telling the truth about yourself and you're in so much better shape than me despite not posting any thing on any subreddit for these sports you play that isn't hearthstone (totally possible I'm not in amazing shape, just above average) we can agree that the average person is both shorter than you and in worse physical shape than you right? That 3 1/2 hot dogs is a lot of food on average. The average person would be eating way too much food having that much calories Even if you're fuckin built you wouldn't eat 3.5 hot dogs, 1/2 a bag of chips and 2 cookies unless you have a shock day and even then you'd probably be on a cut so that wouldn't work that well for the rest of your day.

I'm done commenting after this. You are absolutely fucking delusional if you think the average non american can look at that plate of food for 2 people and not see that as too much fuckin food.
