Reply to comment by Tambury in [OC] Pizza eating challenge by a non-professional eater in a local competition by Tambury

15 seconds of research shows that a simple large pizza from dominos is about 2,000 calories. That makes this challenge equal to 10 pizzas. That seems wrong to me. Thoughts?

Edit: using 2,000 KCalories = 8,000 KJoules, we get 2.5 large dominos pizzas.

You need to convert from kilojoules to calories

When nutitionists talk about calories (sometime written as capital-C Calories), they're referring to kilocalories.

2000 food Calories = 2000 kcal ≈ 8000 kJ.
