July Fourth hot dog eating contest men's competition won by Joey Chestnut with 62 hot dogs and buns - eviltoast
The men's hot dog eating contest was delayed for nearly two hours on New York's Coney Island after thunderstorms hit the area.

Joey Chestnut wolfed down 62 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes to win the men’s competition of the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest for the 16th time Tuesday. The champion eater whose nickname is “Jaws” fell short of the record 76 hot dogs and buns that he set at the Independence Day event in 2021.

    I was curious on what the math was for calories consumed, fat, etc. Doing a little digging finds that they use Nathan’s Natural Casing hot dogs. Which have the following nutritional facts:

    • Serving Size: 1 Frank / 56 g
    • Calories: 170
    • Total Fat: 16 g / 21% Daily Value
    • Saturated Fat: 6 g / 30%
    • Trans Fat: 1 g
    • Cholesterol: 30 mg / 10%
    • Sodium: 0.48 g / 21%
    • Protein: 6 g / 12%

    Doing the math for 62 dogs (excluding the buns):

    • Serving Size: 62 Frank / 3472 g
    • Calories: 10540
    • Total Fat: 992 g / 1302% Daily Value
    • Saturated Fat: 372 g / 1860%
    • Trans Fat: 62 g
    • Cholesterol: 1860 mg / 620%
    • Sodium: 29.76 g / 1302%
    • Protein: 372 g / 744%

    Wowzas!
