Super Size Me

Morgan makes it all 30 days, eats super sized meals 9 times (5 times in Texas). His cholesterol goes way up, all his electrolytes go way off the charts, at one point he was having chest pains. McDonalds reps refuse to talk to him, ever. He puts on about 30 pounds, takes him 8 weeks to return to normal blood chemistry, and 6 months for him to return to his original weight.

Morgan Spurlock: I consumed over thirty pounds of sugar. That's an average of a pound of sugar a day.

Question: Is there a list somewhere of exactly what Morgan Spurlock ate on each day? It seems that on several days, he ate more than a standard meal (you often see multiple sodas visible on desks, or he carries bags larger than a typical McDonalds' meal bag), which rather hurts the point he's trying to make.

Chosen answer: If you were going to eat at McDonald's three meals a day for 30 days, would you actually make 90 separate trips to the restaurant? I'm sure there were times that he got 2 or 3 (or more) meals at the same time and simply reheated them. As for the cups, I know lots of people with old soda cups on their desk and tons of them in their car. The crew may have had food too.
