News from the Gap™

This section highlights some of the outrageous calorie examples confronting us today. Remember... although The Gap makes weight and health management more challenging, the support of the HMR Program for Weight Management™ can help you to achieve your goals in the face of these obstacles.

Here’s a Gap example that’s a strike out! A Michigan minor league ball park is serving up an enormous burger which tips the scales at 4 pounds. The 4-pound, $20 burger features five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and toppings of salsa and corn chips, all on an 8-inch sesame-seed bun. Customers who purchase this 4,800 calorie “sandwich” are awarded a t-shirt if they can eat it in one sitting. This is just one example of how extreme eating is making its way into our culture, and of all places, into our sporting events.
