In a surprising revelation, tech mogul Mark Zuckerberg has divulged that he consumes a massive 4,000 calories per day to offset the intense physical activity of his rigorous fitness routine. The 39-year-old is currently undergoing a public transformation, moving from a nerdy computer enthusiast to a dedicated martial arts practitioner. He trains with professional MMA fighters and has even accepted a cage match challenge from his rival, Elon Musk. Zuckerberg recently responded to a thread on his new platform, Threads, where users were discussing their go-to orders at McDonald’s. He shared his own substantial order, which contains more calories than most people’s daily intake and is packed with sugar and fat. His order includes 20 nuggets, a quarter pounder, large fries, Oreo McFlurry, apple pie, and potentially some side cheeseburgers. When questioned about his McDonald’s indulgence, UFC fighter Mike Davis reminded Zuckerberg that he is currently in training camp and should avoid fast food. However, Zuckerberg responded by stating that he needs the extra calories as he is not cutting weight and finds the food to be delicious. Despite the caloric necessity, it is worth noting that McDonald’s may not be the healthiest choice. For instance, a 20-piece order of nuggets contains 830 calories, 49 grams of fat, and 51 grams of carbs. On the positive side, it does contain 46 grams of protein, which is nearly the recommended daily value. A quarter pounder with cheese adds up to 520 calories, 10 grams of sugar, 26 grams of fat, 42 grams of carbs, and 30 grams of protein. To compensate for his workouts, Zuckerberg consumes approximately 4,000 calories per day, which includes a large order of fries with 480 calories, 23 grams of fat, 65 grams of carbs, and 400 milligrams of sodium. As for dessert, an Oreo McFlurry contributes 510 calories, 60 grams of sugar, 16 grams of fat, and 80 grams of carbs. An apple pie adds 230 calories, 14 grams of sugar, 11 grams of fat, and 33 grams of carbs. Excluding any additional burgers, Zuckerberg’s meal totals 2,570 calories, 84 grams of sugar, 125 grams of fat, 271 grams of carbs, 97 grams of protein, and 3,570 milligrams of sodium. Given that the meal costs around $29 before tax in places like San Francisco, it exceeds many Americans’ entire daily calorie allowance. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that adult women consume between 1600 and 2400 calories per day depending on age, while men should aim for 2,000 to 3,000 calories per day. The USDA suggests a standard 2,000-calorie diet for most Americans. It is important to highlight that Zuckerberg’s meal is loaded with ingredients that can lead to various long-term health problems. With nearly a quarter more sodium than the recommended daily limit set by the American Heart Association, the meal contains 3,570 milligrams of sodium. Consuming excessive amounts of salt has been linked to high blood pressure, a leading cause of death in the United States. Overconsumption of fat, including saturated fat, can increase LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise the risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other conditions such as thyroid disease, lupus, and PCOS. Moreover, consuming high levels of sugar has consistently been associated with adverse health effects, including diabetes, gout, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, cancer, asthma, tooth decay, depression, and premature death. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Zuckerberg has shared details about his unusual eating habits. In 2011, he announced that he would only consume meat from animals he personally slaughtered, citing a desire to remain aware of the sacrifice required for meat consumption and to appreciate what he has. However, based on his recent Threads post, it seems he no longer adheres to that rule.
