Mich. baseball park to offer 4,800-calorie burgers

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Well, at least the salsa is low-cal. The West Michigan Whitecaps, a minor league baseball team, will be offering up major league cholesterol, carbohydrates and calories in an enormous hamburger being added to the menu this year at the Fifth Third Ballpark.

The 4-pound, $20 burger features five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and liberal doses of salsa and corn chips, all on an 8-inch sesame-seed bun. That's a lot of dough!

The Grand Rapids Press reports that anyone who eats the entire 4,800-calorie behemoth in one sitting will receive a special T-shirt. Saner fans can divide it up with a pizza cutter and share.

The Midwest League team is a Class A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers.

That would be my food for 3 days

Must have put a Hardees in the ballbark.

Im going to michigan! THIS IS THE BURGER OF MY DREAMS!

Sounds amazing!!!!! I won't eat for a while but it sounds good Very Happy

Im starving and i want this burgah reaaalllllyyyy bbbaaaddddd......

that burger would be 2/3 of my calorie intake for a day. I take in around 6,000 calories per day. after eating that thing I'd probably have a heart attack though so bring it on!

6000 kcal a day ?????
wtf?

or do you mean 6000 kJ ?

6,000 calories a day.

I eat 6 - 8 times a day.

I do weigh 89.8 kg [198 pounds for us Americans] so keeping that size you have to eat more. the bigger you are the more your body requires. Plus i do exercise a lot.

damn ... o.O you eat about 5 times what I eat.
although I guess if you need it to keep your body the way it is

I'd drive you nuts if I was ever out there. My average day also includes 1 gallon of water [spread throughout the day of course in moderation]. Everything I eat is in moderation, but that is because I eat every couple of hours. I am never hungry that way and I constantly have the right amount of carbs/fat to fuel my body while at the same time the right amount of protein to build muscle.
