Is The Morning Call's Bill White Really a Glutton?

The Morning Call's Bill White
Every year, The Morning Call forces columnist Bill White to eat his way through Musikfest. And every year, somebody calls him a glutton when it's all over.

It certainly reads like he really puts it away. But did he really? This year, I decided to pay attention to what he actually was eating, and determine how many calories he consumed, using Daily Burn. That site has an inventory of just about every food imaginable. When somethng is not clear, I erred on the side of gluttony.

Adding everything up, Bill's eating adventure this year amounts to a scant 4,997 calories. The average American consumes nearly 4,000 calories per day. I consume that at breakfast. The average Thanksgiving meal, all by itself, is somewhere between 3,000 and 4,500 calories.

So as gluttons go, Bill is a model of moderation.

4000 calories? Wow. I estimate I eat between 1500 and 2000 a day. No wonder there are so many sickening, immense people walking -er, scootering - around.

Your diet would be considered very healthy. As one of those sickening people, I commend you and hope I can do better.
