FWIW, one pound of corned beef contains:

1136 calories (773 calories from fat alone).
443 mg of cholesterol (149% of the recommended daily limit)
5141 mg of sodium (213% of the recommended daily limit)

And that's just for the corned beef itself!

Why would anyone want to cram down all that fat and salt? It's gross just thinking about it.

No wonder Ohio is the 13th fattest state...
Hey, at least I didn't eat the pickle.... Seriously though, I burned over 7,000 calories on that ride so the last thing on my mind was eating too much. By your calculations, I ingested 1,136 (Corned Beef) + 200 (2 packs of GU) + 230 (1 CLIF bar) + 150 (3 Gatorades) + 100 (banana) = 1800 total calories. Hey I guess I'm helping OH move to the 14th fattest state.
