Not to Joe D\u2019Amico, an Illinois native who plans to complete the Los Angeles Marathon after eating only McDonald\u2019s fast food for 30 days.\u00a0 Admittedly, D\u2019Amico has allowed himself to utilize non-McDonald\u2019s water, the energy supplement PowerGel, and ibuprofen during his training.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
He is also making some smarter choices than Spurlock did, opting for a grill chicken sandwich and a side salad over a Big Mac and large fries for most lunches.\u00a0 Oh, and there is also the fact the he runs an average of about ten miles per day as part of his physical preparation.\u00a0 Using the nutritional information provided by McDonald\u2019s, D\u2019Amico estimates that he consumes around 3,170 calories per day (compared to Spurlock\u2019s 5,000+) and burns around 1,000 of those off during his training sessions.<\/p>\n
Check out some of the numbers associated with D\u2019Amico\u2019s quest:<\/p>\n
And<\/em><\/p>\n While D\u2019Amico is no stranger to running or value meals (he\u2019s been running recreationally and frequenting McDonald\u2019s since he was a kid), completing a marathon, let alone setting a new personal record, would be a tall order for anyone.\u00a0 For more information about Joe and his path to junk food immortality, check out his blog at McRunner.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not to Joe D\u2019Amico, an Illinois native who plans to complete the Los Angeles Marathon after eating only McDonald\u2019s fast food for 30 days.\u00a0 Admittedly, D\u2019Amico has allowed himself to utilize non-McDonald\u2019s water, the energy supplement PowerGel, and ibuprofen during his training.\u00a0 He is also making some smarter choices than Spurlock did, opting for a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_autoblog_aioseo_focus_keyphrase":"","_autoblog_aioseo_title":"","_autoblog_aioseo_description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-weight-loss"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n
