Video: This man tries, and fails, to eat as much as a Tour de France rider

Watch him get bigger before your very eyes

Tony Cuddihy

A Tour de France cyclist reportedly consumes around 8,000 calories a day.

That involves, obviously, a quite ridiculous amount of food and reporter Nicolay Ramm felt he was up to the challenge.

Well, he clearly wasn’t. You can see Nicolay expand right before your very eyes as he horses into the following. He couldn’t, obviously, make the 8,000 calories mark.

He ate: Porridge, omelette, three sandwiches, smoothie, yoghurt, orange juice, apple, nuts, coffee, 100g pasta, nine Energy Bars, three litres of sports drink, 1.5l of Coke.

He could not eat: Smoothie, chicken, rice, juice, steak, pasta, yoghurt, muesli, fruit, nuts, coffee.
